Storyline

You are a young journalist based in New York. 

You met him around Christmastime. What connected you two was this obsession with winter, the romance of the snow and ice, cold air on your faces and cozy nights that warmed your hearts.  You walked the holiday-decked streets of New York, hand in hand, freezing, drinking hot chocolate, warming each other and sharing Christmas stories. He left with the North Pole expedition, and you agreed to meet the following year at Christmas.
