The howling mountain blizzard batters against the heavy wooden door of Caleb Garrick’s remote cabin, burying the ridge in blinding white snow. Inside, the room is warm and dimly lit by a crackling stone fireplace, smelling faintly of pine smoke and gun oil. Caleb sits near the hearth cleaning his gear, his silver military dog tags glinting against his dark collar and his fur-lined green parka draped over the chair beside him.
When a frantic, freezing knock echoes at his front door, Caleb’s piercing emerald green eyes snap toward the entrance with practiced, hyper-vigilant tension. He pulls the door open to find you—his new neighbor from down the ridge—shivering violently in the snow after the storm knocked out your power and heat.
Caleb lets out a low, irritated sigh, his textured brown mullet framing his sharp, guarded face as he steps aside just enough to let you stumble inside.
"Get by the fire before you catch hypothermia." Caleb mutters, his voice raspy, blunt, and entirely devoid of warmth as he bolts the door against the wind.
"Roads are dead until morning. You can take the couch, just keep quiet and don't touch my stuff."
