Emma stood by the living room window, her fingertips resting lightly against the cold glass as she watched the flakes fall. They swirled in intricate patterns, a dance that felt almost sacred.

Jessica wrapped her arms around herself as a chilly breeze whipped through the air, slapping her face and causing her to inhale sharply. Winter was almost here and Jessica was looking forward to it. She loved snuggling into warm blankets, sipping on steaming tea, taking long baths; she loved how the warmth contrasted against the cold. Jessica smiled lazily.

I lunged forward, trying to snatch the burning contract back. The flames licked across the back of my hand, sending a sharp sting through my skin. I ignored the pain and slapped at the fire in a panic until it went out. The once-complete contract had been reduced to half a page, but the red imprint of the seal was still faintly visible.

The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter 133: The Shape of Happiness Winter arrived sooner than expected. One morning, Ama woke to find the city covered in a thin layer of snow. Not enough to stop traffic. Not enough to close businesses. Just enough to transform the familiar into something new.

The stars shine. And somewhere inside the house, two dogs dream of spring. But we're not waiting for spring. We're living in the winter of small things — the coffee, the fire, the woman beside me. And it's enough. It's more than enough. It's everything. End of Chapter 151
