the morning after the ice age

After a winter you thought would be the death of you...

... you walk down a city street one day and it's suddenly sunny. For the first time in months you don't have to shiver. For the first time in months you don't have to fight for your survival. You see a handsome man walking towards you and he catches your eye. As you pass the beautiful stranger, on a silly impulse, you walk a little bit too close and give him a shy smile. The way people don't do it here in this surly city.

And he smiles back. And after a bit you turn back and see him look back over his shoulder at you.

And then you know. You will not die.
