Free bonus scene

An exclusive blizzard-night scene from Garrick's side

One storm, one warm room, and a man on the floor who would not let kindness become a debt.

The Door and the Canvas

You've read the blizzard night through Odessa's eyes. Now stand in the cold with Garrick. He leaves his loft, carries a battered heater and a bag of split firewood down a street the storm has erased, and knocks three times at her back door. This exclusive bonus scene gives you the walk, the stove, the canvas wall, and the long silent hours against the door: everything he almost said and wouldn't. A free gift for readers of Proof of Nest.
