“Sis didn’t want me to come, so she threw away all my clothes Victor, but I just wanted to see the snow wolves with you.
Victor didn’t ask me a single word. He threw me onto the scy plain and roared
“You’re so vicious? Then go freeze to death and see how that feels
They walked away hand in hand

The project director greeted us warmly, smaling at Nina
“So loving, madam. You have no idea–Victor’s been sending over boxes of high end supplies these past few days.”
Then his gaze shifted to me worth an all–too–knowing look
