And now, as he answered theknocking he had at first imagined to be the pounding in his skull, hewondered if the brandy he had been drinking this evening was perhapstainted. He could not quite believe his eyes. A woman stood on his doorstep, covered in a layer of snow, her brightblue eyes silently pleading to him just before her eyelids flutteredclosed, and she crumpled at his feet. He managed to set the candle downsafely on a table in time to catch her before she cracked her head onthe stone beneath her.

"Amery!" He roared. Turning back to the woman on his sofa, he again felt the necessity toblink his eyes, wondering if they played a trick with his senses. He litmore candles to brighten the room and added more wood to the fire. Thenhe walked back to the woman and knelt at her side. He found her handdangling over the edge of the sofa and took it gently in his, the digitsfrozen stiff. He inhaled a gasp. He cupped both of his handsinstinctively around hers, hoping to lend her his warmth. He heard the shuffle from the hallway and Amery's muttering, then a noisy yawn. "Bloody hell! What is this?" Amery bellowed from the doorway. North ignored the query. "We need blankets," he said, instead. "She's frozen through." Amery nodded and left. A muffled groan from behind drew his attention, and he turned to see thewoman's eyelids flutter open. He inhaled sharply as her bright bluegaze fell upon him. She studied him for a moment. And then, she smiled.About the AuthorTricia Schneider worked for 12 years in a bookstore as Assistant Manager and bookseller. Now she writes full-time while raising her three young children.
