» the first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event.
you go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different,
and if this is not an enchantment then where is it to be found? «

her steps made umfamiliar noises, maybe it was the snow beneath her feet.
she let out a little, soft sigh and watched how her breath soared
as a little cloud into the cold winter air.
