Winter's Glow
Cold with fire as counteroffer.
Winter glow is not magic only. It is firelight on faces, snow reflecting what little sun the day could afford, toes warming while the window shows the price.
Yule and igloo are far from here. Accurate is hearth logic — cocoa, evergreen if you have it, dark early, body learning storage.
Glow is borrowed. Cold keeps the receipt.
The ember still outlasts the longest night.
