Billy could feel it in the air, that crisp bite that soon the cold would settle on the world around him.
Winter was nearly here.
It was a different feeling outside than in the rink. The rink was like that year-round, manufactured cold at a constant temperature, but this feeling made his heart beat faster. He looked forward to putting on another layer of clothing, of smelling the smoke from the neighbors’ fireplaces, of those first beautiful snowflakes melting against his face.
The crisp feel of the atmosphere settled on the world around him and brought with it, hope.
