The Quarterback's Roommate
Bonus Chapter 21 – Morning After the Cabin
Eli POV
Morning light slipped through the cabin’s wooden shutters in pale, dusty beams, blending with the last glowing embers in the hearth and the steady golden shimmer of the fairy lights we’d strung along the ceiling beams, around the headboard, and in soft loops over the windows. The room smelled of pine resin, lingering woodsmoke from last night’s fire, and the faint sweet vanilla of the candle we’d let burn itself out to a waxy stub on the nightstand. Outside, snow continued to fall in thick, silent flakes, muffling the world into perfect stillness.
