Nostalgia

It felt like a dream. Lily stood by the window, gazing out at the endless blanket of snow that stretched across the landscape. The world outside seemed frozen in time, untouched by the hustle of life. A month had passed in the blink of an eye, and yet not once had she felt 'bored.' She'd been sure she would, despite the endless books available. But honestly, it was the presence of Cai here that made it all seem like a big dream. The isolation of the cabin, nestled in the mountains, had been almost healing.

Soon, the snowstorms would start to recede, and they would finally be able to make the trek to the small town a few miles away. But despite that prospect, a quiet fear gnawed at Lily. What if, when the snow melted, this dream would fade away too?
