Everyone returned to their rooms.
Wendy set her luggage down and took out her phone. When she opened her Facebook, she
saw Stanley’s friend request.
He wanted to add her as a friend.
They were divorced now, and he was with Jessica. Wendy didn’t want to get caught up in any more drama with him, so she didn’t accept.
Wendy stepped out of her room and ran into Lucas, who was coming out of the room across the hall. He smiled and said, “Wendy, I’m right across from you. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Wendy smiled back. “Okay.”
Wendy, Lucas, and the other students left the hotel together, heading toward the vast, open expanse of Feirwale.
“Wendy, look. It’s snowing,” Lucas said.
Wendy looked up just as snowflakes began to drift down from the sky, soft and fluffy like goose feathers. It was really snowing. The streets were nearly empty, and snowflakes swirled around, quickly blanketing the ground in white.
The powerful waves of the ocean crashed relentlessly in the distance, blue and white meeting at the horizon–half sea, half snow. It was a stunning sight, breathtaking in its beauty.
Wendy wore a long white down coat, wrapping herself tightly in its warmth. Her delicate nose and pale eyelids were already reddened from the cold, but she walked forward against the fierce wind, step by step.
She was seeing the snow in Feirwale.

Just like her father had said, it was so beautiful–but also, so cold.
“Oh my god! This place is gorgeous!”
The other students ran off, excited to explore.

A layer of mist suddenly appeared over Wendy’s bright eyes. She walked toward the beach,
cupping her hands around her mouth, and shouted toward the sea, “Dad, I’m here in
Feirwale, just like we said!”
The mighty waves slammed against the lighthouse, sending a deafening roar into the air. The winter romance felt like the perfect response from her father.

At that moment, Wendy felt a sense of release. She felt like she had finally let go of the grief from losing her father and the feeling of never being loved after his passing.
Lucas watched Wendy from behind, and to him, no snowstorm in the world could compare
to her beauty.
One of the male students nudged him. “What are you waiting for? Go to her! You should be
watching the snow with someone you love.”
Lucas hesitated, but then suddenly had an idea. “I’ll be right back.”
He ran back toward the hotel.
Wendy extended her hand, letting the crystalline snowflakes fall gently into her palm. Her clear, bright eyes sparkled with delight.
Just then, a black umbrella appeared overhead. Someone was holding it over her.
Wendy turned with a smile. “Lucas…”
Her words faltered when she saw that it wasn’t Lucas standing there–it was Stanley.
Stanley was here!
He wore a sleek black wool coat with a gray turtleneck underneath. His tall, elegant figure

stood before her, and at that moment, the swirling snowflakes seemed to accentuate his
presence. He looked like he had stepped straight out of a painting.
Wendy froze, unsure how he had ended up here.
He had said he wasn’t coming to Feirwale, but now, here he was, unexpectedly.
He had arrived at the most romantic moment–right when she was standing in the snow.
Stanley’s gaze fell on Wendy’s small face, the cold making her nose and the corners of her eyes red, which only made her skin appear even more delicate. The glistening light in her eyes added a soft, captivating glow.
Holding the umbrella, Stanley raised the corner of his lips in a small smile.
“Aren’t your hands
cold?”
