Summary

When twenty-four-year-old Gillian Lambert joins her friends for a winter retreat in the mountains, she imagines cozy nights and carefree days on the slopes. The rustic lodge feels charming, though its innkeeper, Arthur, lingers in the background—quiet, awkward, and difficult to read. One evening, Gillian catches him watching her from across the firelight. Her friends laugh it off as nothing. She isn’t so sure. When a massive storm sweeps in, the group decides to leave early. Gillian lingers behind—and when her car won’t start, she finds herself trapped as the snow piles higher, the roads vanish, and the outside world disappears. Alone in the silent lodge with Arthur, Gillian senses something shifting. His calm politeness feels too careful. His gaze lingers a moment too long. Isolated and cut off, she can’t tell if he’s her reluctant savior… or something far more dangerous. As the storm deepens into a whiteout, Gillian begins to question what lies beneath the surface—of the man who keeps her company, and of herself. In the storm, trust is a luxury… and survival may come at the cost of surrender.

Prologue: Winter Break

Group Chat: Ski Trip ❄️⛷️

Maya: We are not wasting winter break. Trip planning starts now.

Jared: Translation: Maya is dragging me up a mountain.

Maya: You love it.

Rachel: I vote skiing. I already bought a ridiculous pom-pom hat that needs to be seen.

Ethan: Works for me. Cabin + slopes + booze = perfection.

Maya: Gillian, you in? Don't make us beg.

Gillian: I mean... maybe? Where exactly?

Rachel: Look what I found- [shared link: Evergreen Lodge - Family-Owned Mountain Retreat]

Jared: That looks straight out of a postcard. Fireplace, snow drifts, the works.

Ethan: And it's cheap as hell. One week split between us? Practically nothing.

Maya: Rustic and cozy. Exactly what we need.

Rachel: YES. It's like... secluded, quiet, snow everywhere. Heaven.

Gillian: Secluded = creepy. No neighbors, no shops, just woods and mountains. Have you seen horror movies?

Maya: Gill, you say that about every place we look at.

Jared: She does. I vote yes.

Rachel: Same. This is the one.

Ethan: I'm in. And hey, Gill, don't worry-I'll keep you safe. 😉

Maya: Smooth, Ethan. Real smooth.

Rachel: Lollll someone's trying way too hard.

Gillian: ...Funny. Thanks. But seriously, I don't know. It's really isolated.

Maya: That's the point. We'll unplug, relax, enjoy ourselves. You'll love it.

Jared: All in favor of Evergreen Lodge?

Rachel: Yes!

Ethan: Yes.

Maya: Obviously yes.

Gillian: ...Fine. If everyone else is sure, I'll go.

Rachel: That's our girl.

Ethan: Can't wait. It'll be unforgettable.

Maya: Whiteout squad assembled! ❄️⛷️🔥

Gillian: (I really hope I don't regret this.)

Quenda: Overall a good story. Looks like it is in need of a good proof reader as it contradicts itself at times...but overall a good story.

Silver's Second Chance

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
