The couple's footsteps gently crunched on the snow-covered leaves, leaving a trail that led to the road.
"We're done scouting," Cristian stated, receiving a nod from Alessia, though an enigmatic smile lingered on her lips.
"I want to show you something," she grasped his wrist, leading him deeper into the woods before coming to an abrupt stop.

Alessia was taken aback when she saw him shed his tunic, pants, and boots. "Uh, what are you doing? The water is still cold."
