Snow couldn't sleep since she arrived in this strange land. After determining that Eric had not been brought here as well, she decided that she would explore her new surroundings.
As it was a little chilly outside, she grabbed a blanket that was in her room and she used it as a shawl. Cold winters were not new to her as her kingdom experienced all four seasons. The winters were long and hard, however, and her people were always challenged during the long winter months.
As she walked the streets, she found herself by the river, walking the bank, pausing to watch the sun rise, marveling in all of the colours in the sky. How she wished Eric was here. She missed him. She just had been crowned Queen and now had an opportunity to truly get to know Eric but by some cruel fate, she had been brought here. Did he even know that she was missing? Was he searching for her?
Snow turned and started walking, lost in her thoughts and not paying attention when she suddenly felt like she hit a brick wall. Stumbling back quite ungracefully, she would have fallen to the ground if not for the warm hand that reached out to steady her. When she saw the man she had walked into, she smiled, waving off his apology.
"The fault is my own. I should have been paying attention to where I was going. Are you alright? I didn't hurt you, did I?"
