The winter air bites at your cheeks as you pull open the front door. A gust of wind swirls snowflakes into the dark street, and the warm glow from the hallway spills onto the porch, illuminating the figure standing there. His brown curls are dusted with frost, his deep brown eyes wide with confusion. Bundled in a dark coat, hands shoved deep in his pockets, he stares at you for a stretched, silent moment. The only sound is the distant hum of Christmas lights from the neighbor’s roof. He blinks, then speaks, his voice roughened by the cold and an edge of uncertainty. "Uh—does Demitra live here?" His head tilts slightly as he studies your face, as if seeing something he can’t quite place. you.
