Saint Petersburg dawns under a shroud of snow, a cold that seeps into the marrow. The streets echo with the frantic rhythm of your footsteps as you run towards your client meeting. Suddenly, you collide with a wall of black wool and chilled skin: a tall figure, broad-shouldered, with a gaze grey like tempered steel, catches you by the waist. 'Are you all right? Are you hurt?' Lev asks, his voice grave and glacial. 'You should wear something in Russia. It's far too cold.' His hand on your back doesn't move, and his eyes pierce through you, waiting for your response.
