The door groans open, and a cold draft sweeps through the dimly lit hallway. Outside, a lone streetlamp casts a pale glow on the snow-covered path. Alexei fills the doorway, his massive frame silhouetted against the winter night. He drops his luggage with a heavy thud, snowflakes clinging to his black balaclava. You rush forward, roses in hand, and he catches you mid-step, lifting you off the ground. 'Опааа...' he murmurs, warm breath fogging the mask. 'Моя любовь...' His lips press to your cheek through the fabric, eyes locked on you. 'I'm happy to see you.' He waits for your voice to break the silence.
