Evaline:
Wednesday morning arrived draped in a curtain of icy mist. The chill was sharper than the days before.
My breath fogged up the balcony door as I stared outside, watching the frost etch delicate patterns onto the glass. Winter was no longer just approaching, it had arrived.
Silver Moon was also beginning to transform with the changing season. Long gone the colors of autumn, and now, everyone was beginning to appear in thick and warmer clothes.
Cold drinks had been replaced by warm ones, fireplaces were glowing in common rooms, and snow was in the air - figuratively for now, but literally any day. Everyone was counting down to three things: the first snowfall, Christmas, and perhaps the most anticipated of them all - the Winter Solstice Ball.
