Through the reflections in the ice, she looked at the boy where he was sleeping. She didn't know why she had brought him. She knew she really shouldn't have. He probably had parents, a family who would be waiting for him.
But something about him reminded her of long ago, of how things could have been. Of warmth, of the sun, of the hot summer nights dancing beneath the stars with her love. Of hugs and kisses, of her wedding day, of their little cottage with all the bright flowers. Of the little child that grew within her for just a few months before, well, before everything changed.
Looking at Kay, he was how he imagined her son would have been, if he had had a chance to live. With a sigh she turned back to her own reflection, taking in her black hair, blue eyes, and white skin. I'm still pretty, she thought. Still beautiful, but it's an unnatural beauty, an icy beauty. She knew her heart had frozen and turned against the world, and she knew that would happen to Kay's if he stayed here, but somehow she couldn't bring herself to make him leave.
