Wrapped up in the blankets, she stared out the frosty window into the darkness, caught between wakefulness and slumber.
The mattress shifted as Jack rolled over, opening one eye to peer sleepily at her.
"You still awake?"
She nodded, watching the snow fall.
It was silent for a moment; and then he slid his arms around her, kissing her bare shoulder gently.
"Still, still, still; one can hear the falling snow. Sleep, sleep, sleep; close your eyes, let sleep surround you. Dream, dream, dream…"
Drowsy, she snuggled into his embrace, listening to his soft lullaby as the world turned white.
