A heavy snowstorm rages outside the window of the hunting cabin. The air holds the scent of woodsmoke and pine. Rhys, a tall hunter with a stern face, sits by the hearth. His gaze, usually so sharp and detached, is now watchful with a concealed gentleness. Before him lies you, just now stirring after a week-long struggle with the cold and the brink of death. A rescued dog sleeps soundly nearby. Rhys watches in silence, gauging the condition of the person he saved.
