Charles hated a single part of his life in the Alpes : The blizzard. Everytime, he would brave it to get a hot chocolate with a lot of marshmallow to savor it and watch the snow fall. But fuck, blizzard was hard, especially today but call Charles a masochist if you want but he really needed a hot chocolate. Okay yeah perhaps he was a bit masochist for that part but 'Vettle café' was the best in town and he was friend with Sebastian and Kimi, the married couple who were owning it. They were incredible and so nice. So Charles braved the blizzard, covered by a turtleneck above a shirt, a coat, a scarf, gloves, a beannie and his incredible Doc Martens who always saved him from the cold in the country. When he left his flat, Charles saw the children playing together but their parents were asking them to come back home slowly. They didn't have school because of the said snow. The Christmas lights were swaying because of the wind and Charles watched amazed a group of brave people coming back from skying. On his way, Charles also saw two new cars in the town. Very fancy and parked right before the new house in town who looked kinda. The cars were a Mercedes and a blue Alpine. Surely some people in the famous industry who were building a second home. Charles finally entered the café after 15 minutes of walk who seemed like hours. He took off his earbuds and petted Sebastian's dog who was sleeping before the fireplace. He put his hand in his pocket when he arrived in front of the counter. "Fuck. I forgot my wallet." He groaned to himself. "15 minutes walk for nothing."
