I looked around at the gathered children. "Who wants to hear a tale?" Hands shot up, faces brightened. Even Astrid, leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed, softened slightly. I gathered them close, the little one still in my lap playing with my fingers. Snacks were shared.

Three-year-old Theo, with his curious eyes and tousled hair, snuggled up close, his little hand reaching out to touch the colorful illustrations on the pages.

Theo's eyes widened in wonder as he listened intently, captivated by the tale unfolding before him.

Evelyn laughs a little and Victor joins in. “I guess we’ll just have to keep each other warm,” he murmurs. Evelyn casts her eyes at him, surprising him by blushing again. He smiles at this. She’s not usually so coy. The family has a very cozy time that evening, staying warm by the fire. The boys use their imaginations to think up interesting situations that embrace the cold.

Maybe that's why that guy was so taken with her, wasn’t he, Goldilocks?” Bile gathered in my throat as I understood what these men were trying to do to me.

All of the children sat on the edge of their cushions, riveted by the story, and seeing their rapt expressions, Eve carried on. She told of the caves and the horrors they hid, and of the bear bringing the princess back to her cage. Eve sung of the princesses mate, and spoke softly when it came to her kidnapping, casting an eye on Katana, to assure herself that she didn't mind, but one look at her friend and she saw Katana was just as wrapped up in the story as the kids all waiting for more. Finally, Eve spoke of the rescue taking place on this very island, and how the bear kept his word, bringing her back home safely.
