It's still snowing outside, and the snowflakes are getting bigger. Just after a few steps, my shoulders were covered in white.
"Nora, are you heading out?"
Passing by Ward's house, Eleanor Taylor had just picked up a puppy that was running around the yard and waved at them both amidst the heavy snow.
"Yes."
Through the wind and snow, Nora Scott nodded slightly to her.
Eleanor's face was red from the cold, and she jumped up and down a few times, then waved goodbye and hopped back into her house with the puppy.
Through the narrow window, a warm orange light glowed, casting strands of warmth in the silent snow night.
Nora exhaled, her breath turning into white mist, quickly scattered by the cold wind.
The two passed by and continued walking forward.
Reaching into her pocket, she touched the hand warmer Pedro Langley had given her before they left. Nora turned her head slightly and saw Pedro walking by her side. The faint streetlight cast a hazy glow on him.
