Short, I know but its kinda late and I am really tired, I'll try to have more next time.

-A Winter Chill

"Mr. Clawson," Susan approached her boss with a request to go on leave for a couple of weeks. She wanted to go visit the estate that was now in her possession. She hoped to maybe sell it and all the historical artifacts in it but she didn't know. There was an emotional attachment that she knew she would feel; that house was where her older brother Peter had lived. She felt that her and Peter had grown distant before his death and she wanted anything to bring her closer to him.

"Miss Pevensie!" He said excitedly standing up holding something, "you are just the person I wanted to see!"

"Why?" she asked.Hopefully he didn't want her to do some job that would require her to stay around.

"Because I got this manuscript in the other day, I want you to read it and tell me weather or not you like it," He handed her a large stack of papers. She looked down at the title and was shocked.

Narnia: The Death of Winter

by Peter Pevensie

"Where did you get this?" She asked, "thats my brothers name."

"I thought that he might be your brother," Mr. Clawson said, "it was sent in by a young man named Alexander Lee, who said that the writer was now dead but his last wish was that his book get published by this company."

"This can't be happening, Peter never finished his book," Susan still was struck by what she was holding.

"I think it is just what we are looking for," Mr. Clawson went on, "I want you to read it and tell me what you think. So what did you want to talk to me about." he looked up from the manuscript; there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Yes," she said, "I wanted to request 3 weeks off to see an estate I just inherited."

"Thats perfectly fine..." the old man put a hand on her shoulder, "I have noticed you needed time off, but you can take the book with you and read it during that time. As soon as you approve it, off to the press it goes." With that he went into his office. Susan held the manuscript close to her, and hoped that she'd get a chance to meet this Alexander Lee.

"Goodbye Susie," James said giving her a hug before she boarded the train, "I'll come visit you soon."

"James..." she trailed off, "I'm sorry things between us just didn't work." They had broken up a few days ago. Susan had acknowledged that there was no spark between them. James was fine because he realized it to, though he hadn't said anything because he didn't want to hurt her. They agreed that being friends was just better.

"In a way they did," he said with a smile, "I just want you to know that I care about you and I will always be here for you."

"Thank you for everything," she said walking toward the train, "and I hope you find your perfect match.

"I know you'll find someone," he said waving to her, "and if you are lonely give me a call."

"I will," she said. He was the best friend she had left, their agreement had not changed that.
