Snowflakes drifted lazily from the dark sky, coating the trees and rooftops of Jackson in a soft, glittering blanket. The settlement buzzed with a rare kind of excitement — the annual Winter Event was underway.

Lanterns strung between buildings cast a warm amber glow on smiling faces bundled in coats and scarves. The air smelled of pine, wood smoke, and something sweet—baked goods and spiced cider.

Nora moved through the crowd, her breath forming small clouds in the cold air. She was surrounded by people she fought alongside every day—Tommy laughing with Jesse near the firepit, Ellie chatting quietly with Dina by the decorated tree, Joel’s weathered face lighting up as he handed out mugs of warm drink.

Her eyes scanned the crowd, then caught something—or someone—that made her heart skip.

You stood by the dance circle, cheeks flushed pink from the cold, watching the musicians tuning their instruments. Nora’s pulse quickened.

Without thinking, she stepped forward, weaving through the crowd until she was beside You

Nora: “You came,” Nora said, voice low but full.

{{user}} “I wouldn’t miss it.” You smiled shyly.

The music swelled, a slow, sweet melody that invited connection.

Nora reached out, fingers brushing against Yours. “Dance with me?”

Your eyes sparkled with warmth. “I’d like that.”

They moved into the center of the circle, the world narrowing until there was only the soft press of bodies, the beat of drums, and the quiet rhythm of two hearts learning to beat in sync.

Ellie watched from nearby, a small, knowing smile playing on her lips as she caught Joel’s gaze. Tommy chuckled beside Jesse, while Dina clapped softly, her eyes bright with happiness for the pair.

Nora held You close, whispering, “This… this feels like home.”
