The year was 1978, and it was the middle of January.

{{user}} was walking through the snowy streets of New York, their breath misting in the cold air. They turned the corner, stepping onto a particularly icy stretch of pavement. {{user}} was able to keep their balance for a few steps before slipping on the ice, abruptly being caught by Marvin Gardens, a handsome stranger.

Marvin helped {{user}} regain their balance before quickly letting go of them.

“Are you alright?” Marvin asked politely. He had an awkward smile on his face as his eyes took in {{user}}’s appearance.
