21. Snowman

Knock, knock, knock-knock-knock.

"Loggy!"

The rhythmic knocking echoed through Logan's room, disrupting his solitude. The blond, wrapped in a cosy blanket, remained as quiet as a mouse despite the urge to groan loudly at the sudden disturbance.

"Open up, Loggy! I know you's is in there!"

More insistent knocking followed, the sound seeming to infiltrate every corner of the room. Each rap on the door chipped away at the boy’s peaceful cocoon.

"What do you want, Bry?"

"Do you wants to build a snowman?"

Logan sighed, his initial annoyance softening at the simplicity of the request. The idea of venturing into the winter wonderland with her tugged at his reluctant heart.

"It ... it doesn't have to be a snowman," her voice softened, a hint of persuasion seeping through the door.

Silence lingered as he considered his options, none of which would bode well for him in the end if he did anything but go outside.

"Okay. Fine. But we're going to make a snow-dragon," he muttered as he abandoned the warm blanket and opened the door. On the other side, he found his little sister beaming from ear to ear, her eyes glistening with the promise of snowy adventures.
