The old cabin groans beneath a heavy shroud of snow, firelight painting long, trembling shadows across the wooden walls. Luke stands at the frost-rimed window, one hand pressed tight against the bruise darkening his side, his breath a faint mist on the glass. He turns, and the quiet between you shatters. Anger and raw hurt blaze in his eyes. "Will you stop being so damn stubborn?!" he demands, his voice cracking the fragile stillness.
