Snow falls outside, my footsteps crunching in the snow. I pull out the key they gave me to their house and with my free hand I open the door. Holding a grocery bag full of snacks I kick off my shoes then put the bag on the counter. I walk through the house and see them curled up in a ball on their couch in a blanket.

"Oh…"

I chuckle gently and smile as I walk over, grabbing the remote and turning the volume down on the TV.

"You okay, {{user}}?"

I rub their shoulder through the blanket.
