  A Light in my Life
      The library was closed so Rosie stuck to sitting outside on the steps of the library. The campus was completely remote at this time of night. The streetlights lit the area, the sound of the swirling wind filling the lonesomeness.
      &quot;You forgot a coat.&quot;
      Rosie looked up. The moonlight and streetlights hit Anthony's eyes, making them sparkle in the darkness of the night. He held her jacket in his hands, a tender smile resting on his face as he looked down at her.
      Rosie sighed. She felt guilty that he had left the dinner with his friends to follow her out here. &quot;What are you doing here?&quot;
      Anthony shrugged lightly. He moved to sit down beside her, placing her jacket over top of her shoulders.
      &quot;Thank you,&quot; she exhaled. She was grateful for it being dark out so her blush could stay hidden. She tilted her head, p

  Beauty of a Snowflake
      Rosie spent the following few days after Thanksgiving packing. Her and Tamara were heading on a road trip a few hours away, back home to see their family for the Christmas holidays. After New Years, when they had gotten back to the campus, it wasn't long before Rosie ran into Anthony.
      She stopped at the library to pick up a book. On her walk back home, she had run right into someone's chest.
      &quot;Woah,&quot; Anthony held onto her shoulders, stabilizing her. &quot;Apologies.&quot; He bent down to pick up her book that had fallen. He glanced down at the cover. &quot;Harry Potter, huh?&quot;
      Rosie's cheeks warmed up as she took the book back. &quot;For old times sake.&quot;
      Anthony's eyes lit up as he looked down at her, a warm and easy smile resting on his face. &quot;Personally, my preference lies with the Half Blood Prince.&quot;
   

  Over Dinner
      Tamara was racing around the kitchen as she tried to get everything ready for her thanksgiving dinner party. She had been rushing and panicking all morning, worried about what she was forgetting and what still needed to be done.
      Rosie on the other hand, was completely calm as she pulled the pie out of the oven. She was appreciating her calmness that she knew would soon be gone once people started to arrive. Just the thought of all the guests she was going to be with tonight was giving her anxiety.
      The apartment door swung open as Anthony walked in with his hands full. He was carrying bottles of wine, closing the door with his foot.
      &quot;Happy Thanksgiving friends,&quot; he glanced at Rosie, tossing her a smile as she placed the bottles down on the table. &quot;I'm early. What can I do to help?&quot;
      &quot;Check the turkey, please!&quot; Tamara

      Anthony smiled softly, keeping his gaze o
