She’d looked the blacksmith up and down, wondering how he’d look in modern clothes. Handsome, no doubt. A two-hundred year old specimen of manhood, chiseled from the annals of history.
“If he fucks up, it’s on you. If he so much as—”
“He’ll be fine,” Melody had said. “Better than fine.”
You’d better hope so.
She shoved the inner voice to the side, and not for the first time today. She was tired of listening to it. Tired of being told what to do.
This is my time, thought Melody, squeezing Lucus closer. My chance for something different.
“Can we make a snowman?” Lucus asked. His wonderment was childlike and refreshing.
“Not yet,” smiled Melody.
“My sister Cora…” His eyes unfocused as he looked into the swirling grey sky. “She told me you could—”
“Give it another few hours,” Melody said happily. “We’ll go into the courtyard and make ten snowmen if you want to. Snow angels too.”
“Snow angels?”
Melody laughed giddily. She really couldn’t help herself. She stopped walking the ancient hall, then spun around and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him.
“You have no idea how fun this is going to be.”
Lucus kissed her back, wrapping his strong arms around her as the snow drifted down in big, heavy flakes. She looked into his steel blue eyes, beneath the ridge of his arched brow. The clouds parted for a moment, and a lone ray of golden sun beamed down from the sky.
Never in her life had Melody felt more content. And the best about it?
They had all the time in the world.

SERENA
From what I could tell, the two assholes were still behind me. The third one… not so much. I couldn’t risk a look back yet, at least for now. But I could still hear them, huffing and puffing, trying to keep up.
Unfortunately for me, they were gaining.
It was stupid, going out this late. Going out at all, really. I’d actually been ordered not to do it, but like most orders I didn’t like I’d promptly disobeyed. I’d done it anyway, stupid or not.
