Ophelia felt a bit out of place with all the overwhelming enthusiasm.

"Don't just stand here. Come inside already. Theo called out.

Bethany gently took Ophelia's arm, her warm hands wrapping around hers. "It hasn't even been that long, and your hands are already freezing"

Ophelia felt the warmth slowly spread across the back of her hand, and she gave Bethany a slight smile,
