PART 1

Snow crunched under the rubber soles of boots, the sound announcing someone's arrival from around the corner. Soon enough, a young couple stepped onto the poorly lit street with their hands around each other.

The thirty-something-old man whispered a sweet nothing in the girl's ear, and she giggled, flattered. The blush in her cheeks intensified, and she lifted her eyes to his face for a moment. Then, she hid her face in his coat collar, giggling again.

A rueful grin perched in the corner of the man's mouth. He wasn't sure he had made a good choice for that evening. But then, he had already invested enough money on that date, so he decided not to abandon the race before he had scored.

He dipped his head over his companion, and his lips found her cold mouth. He didn't care about that. He did not doubt that he could warm the woman soon if he were persuasive enough.

He deepened his kiss without breaking his stride. The young woman reached up and anchored herself to the lapel of his coat so as not to fall on the pavement.
