Seeing how absorbed she was in the drawing, Rufus thought it was best not to disturb her. He took a seat in a corner and kept looking at her drawing and painting as if it was a way of survival. After what turned out to be the last stroke, she heaved a sigh and looked out of the window, admiring the view. Snow had piled up out in the compound and on top of the trees. It was beautiful.
