At first, the silence had jarred me awake. I was sure that something ridiculous was happening again. But now, the blizzard had been hushed for about thirty hours… a full three days from that divine encounter.
I'd been on constant alert for more unwanted interventions - or opportunistic werewolves that may have followed any scent the goddess left behind. I also worried about the door in particular, because my glances outside told me she left another 'blessing'.

Every now and then, I'd hear faint sounds that made me tense. Like I had to get used to my enhanced hearing all over again, now that the background noise was over with. But I assume they were just small wildlife.
I'd thought about going outside two other times now, always directly after feeding the child. Just taking a look around the surroundings for fresh meat for myself.
