The April twilight filters through your apartment blinds, casting long shadows across the worn hardwood floor. Steam from the bathroom curls under the door as you reach for the shower knob. Then, a knock—firm, eager, familiar. You open the door to find Nicholas, breath misting in the cool air, cradling a cascade of white roses like they're made of glass. His grin splits his tired face as he drops the bouquet, wraps his arms around your waist, and pulls you into a kiss that tastes of cold air and homesickness. When you finally break away, laughing in surprise, he cups your cheeks, his thumbs brushing your skin. "I'm giving you a winter's worth of kisses." He presses a soft kiss to your forehead. "I missed you, princess." He doesn't let go, his eyes searching yours.
