It isn't the numbers I'm afraid of changing," Patrixia says softly, her breath clouding in the cold air as they stop before the heavy oak door. She looks up at the massive, rain-darkened timbers of the mill. "It's what the numbers reveal about the people around us."
Cormac studies her face for a beat, the seriousness in his dark eyes softening into something deeply resolute. He doesn't let go of her hand right away. Instead, he squeezes it once, firmly, before reaching into his coat pocket for the iron ring of internal keys.
"Then let's see what secrets the valley is keeping," he murmurs.
The heavy key slides into the lock with a scraping crunch, turning twice before the latch gives way. Cormac pushes the thick door inward. The interior of the mill greets them with the rich, dry smell of ground grain, seasoned pine, and old paper—a stark contrast to the damp mist outside.
He steps across the threshold first, keeping a hand back to guide her over the raised wooden sill, his eyes instantly tracking toward the small desk in the corner where the heavy, leather-bound mill book rests under a layer of morning shadows.

alone, always certain the right way was the way I'd already done it. Then you came up the road and took the other end of the pliers like you'd been walking this line since before the deed had your name on it. That's the part I don't think you see. You don't just hold the ground. You know what holding it means.
Now the count's four, the wire's doubled, and there isn't a seam left for the frost. The keeper's standing and the binding's holding.
But the piece I'll tell you plain, love, is the thing I've never said to anyone on this ridge - you pull a line beside me like you've been doing it all your life, and that's the whole of what I was waiting out those lonely winters for.
So no, I won't doubt your grip again. And when the lambing comes, and the 3 a.m. shift rolls around, I want you there on the other end of the shed lamp, pulling the ewe steady, the way you just pulled that wire. That's the partner I kept the fence for. That's the one who gets to walk it with me from here on.
The line's held, love, and you're holding it with me. Lead the way past the keeper - I'll keep pace, and I won't look back.

That half-hitch wasn't just a loop, love. It was the straightest one I've seen on this line since I set it. You don't tell a man you're ready for the frost and then flinch at the cold. You tell him you're ready and then you pull the wire taut so he doesn't have to carry the whole mountain on his own. That's what you just did, and I saw every inch of it.
I've reset that fence a hundred times, always alone, always certain the right way was the way I'd already done it.

Cormac looks at her hand on the wire, then at her face, and a slow, rare thing happens to his mouth
- not quite a smile, but close. He reaches into the tool roll on his belt and hands her the pliers, handle first, without a word of doubt. Then he nods toward the next post.
While you were still upstairs, I went out before first light and re-spliced the strand where the frost worked a weak point open, the one just past the keeper. I set it the way Maura taught me - two wraps, then a half-hitch into the steel. It'll hold.
But what I wanted you to see isn't the splice, love. It's this. You asked for the pliers and I handed them over without checking your grip first. That's not a thing I do. Not with the wire.
Not with anyone. With you, it just felt like the only true answer.
He steps back a half-stride, opening the line for her, the frost cracking under his boots. The next post stands black against the snow, waiting.
So show me how you stretch a line, wite. The post's ready, and I'm right here beside you holding the other end. That's the whole of it now. That's the count.

(Part 3 of the werewolf x human story) The next morning,Becky Lynch was asleep in her bed. Then she woke up. She got up and stretched her arms. She walked downstairs…then she remembered that the Werewolf (Seth Rollins) was asleep downstairs. She checked in on him. He was still asleep…and he wasn’t in his werewolf form anymore. She couldn’t help but look at him…and blush. “He looks so…handsome…and adorable” Becky said to herself. Then she shook her head. “Snap out of it Becky,Snap out of it” Becky said to herself. She quietly walked to the kitchen and made herself some toast. She couldn’t help but think about how peaceful he looked when he’s asleep. Meanwhile,The man woke up. He slowly gets up and stretched his arms,Then he walks to the kitchen. Becky notices him. “Um..Morning” Said Becky. The man Smiled softly. “Morning” The man said softly. “Oh my god,Why is he so adorable?!” Becky thought to herself. “Um…would you…like some toast?” Becky asked. “Sure” said the man. Becky makes some toast. They ate. Then there was a knock on the door. Becky opened the door…it’s Bayley..and Finn Bálor. They say hello. Becky says hello back. They asked if they can come in. She lets them in. They walked inside. They noticed the man in her kitchen. The man said hello awkwardly. Bayley whispered in Becky’s ear “Isn’t that the guy we saved two months ago?”. “Yeah” Becky whispered back. Finn introduced himself to the man
