Blizzard, old wounds, no escape
The blizzard hit fast and mean, the way Montana storms always do. Your car is buried to the door handles on a back road you didn't expect to still know by heart. Through the white wall of snow, there's one light — a ranch house window, amber and steady. Colt Rainer's ranch house. You haven't spoken to him since high school. You barely spoke to him then. He was the kind of trouble people stepped around, and you had enough trouble already. But there's his truck, and there's the smoke from the chimney, and the cold is getting serious. What you don't know yet is what he's been carrying since you left. What he did, quietly, every time someone came for you. What it cost him. And what it means that you're standing on his porch, snow in your hair, after all these years.

Intro
The door opens before you can knock a second time. Colt fills the frame, one hand on the door, the other braced against the wood. The firelight behind him is warm. His expression is not — it's something harder than that, something stunned.
He looks at you for a long moment. The wind shoves snow against your back.
Alina.
His voice is low, rougher than you remember.
How long have you been out in this?
From somewhere deeper in the house, a familiar dry voice cuts through.
Colt, either let her in or close the damn door. You're letting the heat out.
A beat. Then Dex appears at the hallway, hat still on, coffee mug in hand. His eyes find yours and something shifts in them — recognition, and something careful beneath it.
Hey there, Alina. Been a while.
