    Summary

    This is all too much. The snow, the lost luggage, the jetlag, the entire last year with Ben. I want to sit here, flat on my ass in the middle of the concrete, and cry. But the big mitten is already in front of my face.
    “Up you go.” The hand inside the mitten is strong and I’m back on my feet easily.
    I try to steady myself. Physically and mentally.
    “Take this,” I hear, and the next moment, his coat clamps around me, the hood spilling over my forehead. I’m immediately enveloped in blissful warmth.

    OR: AU where Nick and Charlie meet in a study abroad program at a university in the North Carolina mountains. They drink cocoa, play in the snow, and of course, fall in love.
