It was freezingly cold, his breath almost freezing against his cheeks. He slipped into his jacket while he continued downwards. The slope was steep, he had to pick his steps carefully over the grassy hill the night was clear and the moonlight gave him a basic vision. Down there was the girl, brightly shining, almost rivaling the stars, in her purely white dress. How had she made it down here so quickly in her white high heels?
