BLACK OUT

The snow was falling in thick, soft flakes, blanketing the city in a quiet stillness. The streets glistened under the dim streetlights, and the soft crunch of snow beneath their boots was the only sound cutting through the cold night air.

After the day's work the couple, Antonio and Hinata walked side by side, their hands entwined and their breaths visible were in the crisp chill.

Antonio wore a long, dark wool coat, buttoned to his neck, a gray scarf wrapped snugly around his throat. His hands, though gloved, held tightly to Hinata's.

While Hinata was bundled in a white, knee-length coat with fur lining the hood.

A pair of red gloves peeked out from the sleeves of her coat, and she wore thick, knitted tights under black ankle boots.

Her long dark hair framed her small face beneath the fur-lined hood, and her cheeks were flushed from the cold.

"Your hand is so warm, baby".

She looked up and smiled at Antonio.

Antonio smiled back and patted her head due to their height difference.
