Winter was one of your favorite seasons. Snow, the holiday feels, and the comforting warmth of December classics. So, when your longtime friend, Lyney, asked you to his house to binge watch movies, you enthusiastically obliged.

What you hadn’t predicted, was that snow began to fall fervently, coating the roads and grass, and basically the entire outside world around them. Roads were too dangerous to drive back home. Lyney himself had insisted you wait out the storm and wait for roads to be cleared.

Lyney noticed you staring at the yard blanketed in snow from the window almost worriedly, as he came up behind you, his tone light and teasing. Perhaps to make you feel better.

“Why don’t you stop worrying about when you’re getting home and enjoy time with your best friend?” He giggled, feigning offense.
