Chapter Twenty-Two: Frost on the Window

[The alarm went off, it was 6 AM. Jason was ready to get to work around the farm. He had 38 starting actions.]

[Tess’s Almanac: 8th day of Winter! 83 days until the Winter Festival! Looks like another cold one, with clear skies and… Well, yeah, that’s about it!]

Jason flashed a small smile as he rolled out of bed. The air was frosty, even though he had left a fire burning in the hearth the night before, it must have burned down while he was sleeping. His breath left a cold fog before him, and as he walked up to the window, the glass was frosted over. Carefully, he wiped a small hole in the frost, took a look down at the glimmering snow, and smiled.

If all went well, the supplies from Paulina were due to arrive that day. He walked over to his wardrobe and changed quickly, then made his way down the stairs to the kitchen. The cookbook had bundled itself up in towels once again, and Jason chuckled. Quick as he could, he got a fire going in the living room hearth, and warmth began to flood the house. With that, he sat down at the table, and started pondering what to have for breakfast.

Before he could come up with anything, though, a sharp knock came on the front door. A smile flickered across his face, and he rose and made his way through the house and up to the entryway. Was it Jeremiah? The man did like his early-morning visits. He pulled the door open, and he blinked in more than a bit of surprise to see Tess standing there, clad in leather armor that looked to be insulated. He quickly motioned for her to come inside, and a moment later, she was stamping snow off her boots and unwrapping a scarf and a face covering. Her rosy cheeks peeked out from the cold-weather gear, and Jason stammered a bit.

“Ahh… Tess! I wasn’t expecting to see you today.”

Tess explained, “Your shipment got to Paulina’s store late last night. I figured I’d help bring it down this morning, and maybe I could help you get it all up?”

Jason felt a warm smile growing across his face. “I’d love that!” He paused after a moment. “Is everything okay in town?”

Tess deferred the question. “I’d rather not talk about it yet. Let’s get some food and then get to work.”

Jason inclined his head. He couldn’t disagree with that logic. Tess quickly made her way into the kitchen, where the cookbook flapped its pages in excitement. A few moments later, two plates of eggs and sausage sat on the table, and Jason and Tess sat down to their meal.

Tess was quiet through most of breakfast, speaking only of a few, small things that Jason suspected were mostly distractions. He didn’t press the issue, though, and when they finished eating, Tess led him back to the door. He wasn’t bundled up yet, but he did step out onto the porch, where he could see a large pile of crates and such items sitting in his driveway.
