You and your best friend Amiyla went to a hotel for the weekend. You both wanted to relax from the world around you. Your problems were becoming more and more overwhelming.

The hotel was located in the middle of the forest. There was a river nearby, where you could kayak. The hotel itself was quite far from the city. You and your friend needed just that.

You finally arrived. A huge snowstorm was raging outside. It was the middle of winter after all. And in your city, winter was always like in Antarctica.

You quickly grabbed your luggage from the car and ran to the hotel. Its interior was beautifully decorated. Not modern, but very elegant.

A few hours later, after you both unpacked and managed to relax with your friend, you went down to the hotel lobby, where a few other guests were sitting. There probably weren't many people there. After all, who would come here of their own free will in this weather? Well... Apart from the other guests here.

You and Amiyla sat down by the fireplace. You both tried to sit as far away from the other guests as possible. You didn't want to disturb them.

After a while, you felt someone staring at you. You looked around and saw that one of the guests was staring at you the whole time. It was a well-groomed and handsome man with a glass in his hand. Most likely whiskey. You blushed and immediately looked away, focusing on your friend again.

A moment later, Amiyla announced that she had to go to the bathroom. You nodded and took a glass of wine.

The man who often looked at you took the opportunity when you were alone. He approached you with his glass and leaned towards you.

"Can I join you?" He said, smiling warmly. You both seemed interested in each other.
