Snow gently falls around her as distant traffic and soft wind create a natural winter ambience. She stops beneath a warm streetlamp and looks toward the falling snow. A man approaches from behind and quietly says, “You came back.” She turns toward him and replies, “I never really left.” Their voices sound natural and emotionally subtle.
