The Last Step was as close to the House of Midnight as Flora had made it.
What was even more absurd than being out in the middle of King's End during Deepfrost was the fact that Flora wasn't even sure if her mother had made it home yet. For all she knew, Hotaru could be in Halo still, or frothing purple foam up in Stormbreak. Still, it felt important to try, even if this was as far as she managed to get.
Having climbed the winding staircase before the snow had begun to fall, by the time it was threatening to cover up her tracks with big fluffy flakes, the Doubletake was lost in her own thoughts. Bundled more or less appropriately with a large chunky scarf that covered her lips and the tip of her nose, Flora stared blankly up at the stars overhead, blinking away snowflakes that tried to land on her eyelashes.
