Not knowing teasing of wind, Dylan place brunch on table by the window and goes upstairs to wake lena.
"Lena" Dylan called out for her as he enter her bedroom.
'Hmmm' a small voice sounds itself in room, hidden inside the duvet was lena. He smiles uncontrollably and sit besides her.
"Lena wake up" He tries to mimic his mother as she always woke lena, half laughing. Lena quickly throw pillow on him.
"Very funny of you Dylan" Lena was offended. He chuckles out loud. Hiding his smile he told her that he is waiting for her down.
"I will tell mom about this mimicry of her Dylan" at table Lena declared a war besieged on him. This was his Lena who never skip a single war notice. Dylan smiles but he didn't say anything. After that dreadful meeting with his cousin in the palace, since last night he feel awful. Dylan do think it is a good sign that Lena was back in her combative mode, but what scares her? What cause cause her to be this afraid of Crown Prince. No matter how he and his long battle with me, he is good, the battles between him and I are just a cousin thing. But what cause her to be this afraid of him. Dylan thinks hards but could not find a single thing. He tries to recount the events at his big eighteenth birthday celebration in Palace. He froze up as he remembers when they were coming out, the Crown Prince was inside the hall but from where he was coming back if he wasn't in there?

Someone was trying to get him up. Dylan feel hands on his arm in his sleep.
"Dylan" someone called out for him from a distance. He switched position in his sleep and turn to other side.
"Dylan.. Wake up." this time he hears the voice very close. Dylan moves again in sleep. Something jump at him and he instantly woke up. "Hmmm" He grab lena afraid of her fall as he sit down. "Good afternoon Lena." the girl laughs and speak.
"Well it's dusk Dylan."
Dylan remembers he goes to his Parent house earlier with Lena as their tradition and Rich packed all his gift in his car. As he was tired of day's hustle, he slept the moment he lays on couch.
"ohh" Dylan recalls and place her on couch.
Lena remembers for what she has woken him up and throws a warm black coat on him. Dylan look up at her and found her completely dressed in warm clothes as If Lena had been out.
"Dylan quickly wear and come out ;the frost has appeared and done magic to the forest ." Dylan quickly wears it and fallow her out. He notice the clear difference between the temperature drop of area.
"It's cold len" Dylan says as he walk besides her. Lena stop as they came near to forest.
"Dylan watch this." He fallowed her hand and saw the trees covered with frost. The tree tops were covered with icey frost shining in dusk. The sunlight falls on them and reflect in every direction, it was indeed beautiful sight.
It was already winter, last time when Dylan enjoyed seasonal change was back in early summer. Before he knows, Summer has completely gone and it was winter again but what about the forgetten season in between these two seasons. Did Dylan completely forget it?
Autumn has been a season that Dylan never forgets about but this year he had not watched how green trees turn into red trees and a reddish golden Capaldi.
"It's already winter Lena" He wanted to confirm it, watching the dancing reflection he asked her.
"Yeah Happy winter." Lena says hugging his arm to her.
"Yeah... A happy and snowy winter to you Len" Dylan put his arm around her. He really wished for a happy winter.
"Why winter feels so long and lonely Dylan?"
Lena asked him as they walked back home.
"Because it's time to check it all." Dylan replied.
"Check what?" Lena stops in her track and asked.
"Check if people; they are trustable or not.
If they are faithful or not."
"Or" Dylan pause for a moment and smile at her.
"To see if people wait for Gyanemayde or forgets about her."
" If people don't see winter for a long time, the long and lonely winter than how come they appreciate Spring ;warm and lovely."
Dylan explains to her and take her hand into his. Lena looked up at him, watching the side of him that Dyaln has not showed to anyone since back those days when they joined the Armed Forces of Arizone, as they walk back home Lena slowly takes it all, every inch of him, his looks as he walked inside her.
Lena looked ahead at the deepening twilight and said:
"Dylan, let's pass four seasons together."
Dylan looked at her, slowly trying to find something abnormal on her, to see if she had gotten a bit of what that's hidden deep inside him.
"Okay I promise." Dylan promised her.
Please God, please God, Let me pass Four season with her. Dylan prayed quietly inside his heart.
