Blood

January is known as the chilly month of Luxembourg. Tonight, it's tiny, hardly visible crystals of snow fell into the streets quietly. "Tomorrow at noon, the snow will be gone," Lily said as she lifted her head and watched the snow fall from the dark skies.

"You should close the window. It is pretty cold tonight." Zhou Jingren glanced at the temperature on his phone. Negative two should be normal in this country, but not for Lily. "Come." He pulled her closer against his chest. Despite the heater of the car, Lily's palms were already cold from the two minutes that she opened the window to look at the snow.

"When I was a child… I didn't have the chance to play with the snow."

"Why would you even want to play in the snow?" he asked. "It's cold and dangerous."

Lily chuckled in response. "I love sparkling stones and dreams of playing with snow. I was normal back then." As expected, he immediately laughed at her words.
