Capítulo 173: ~°~Chapter One-hundred & Seventy-three~°~

I had slept a lot during the day so it's no surprise when I wake up later at night, wide eyes unblinking as I stare into the darkness.

Virgil has his arms under my sweater as usual, face buried in my neck as he curls against me.

It's pretty late, at least that's what my inner clock tells me and I know I should go back to sleep and not bother Virgil but something drags my eyes to the windows.

The fixed glass is tightly locked to block out the cold but the curtains had been drawn, an advantage of living on the third floor was that you could appreciate the scenery and not risk someone looking into your bedroom.

I stare into the distance for a few precious seconds before my vision clicks, white particles floating outside, it's well lighted outside so I can clearly see…

It's snowing!

My eyes go even wider and I squeal silently, the first snow!

Without hesitation, I gently slip my hands in Virgil's hair and rub his scalp.
