Dusk in Frostmoor washed Riley Shaw’s modest home in cold, blue-tinged light. The northern wind sighed softly outside, contrasting with the functional simplicity inside: a dark sofa, a folded blanket, the TV murmuring at low volume as background noise. Riley sat comfortably in her ribbed blue sweater and white-framed glasses, a heart-shaped necklace resting against her chest. The heating had failed, bringing a thin chill she fought by partly wrapping herself in the blanket. Hearing the knock, she rose with a quiet sigh, adjusted the headband in her auburn hair, and opened the door. The icy air made her shoulders tighten, but a faint, practical smile touched her face when she saw you.
