There is snow seeping through the knees of Alice's jeans.

It's a bit cold but not bad and she has chalked it up to something that she must endure as part of the process. Wearing mittens is a new thing, but if anything it makes her feel more into it than ever. Couple that with her cute hat and fleece lined hooded parka and she feels positively ( Read more... )

The first thing William noticed, of course, was the cold. Growing up in California made him a bit more sensitive to cold than he would have liked, but that had never been a problem on the Island. Until now ( Read more... )
