The snow crunched softly under her boots. A white flash darted into her yard. It was Max, the Samoyed, and he was covered in glittering snowflakes.

"Oh, Max," she said, her voice filled with a happy lilt, "what a beautiful sight you are." She felt a surge of tenderness.

She knelt in the snow, her breath misting in the cold air. Max bounded towards her, covering her face in playful licks.

Her heart felt light, filled with a wonderful feeling of belonging.
