One December morning, the snow fell in light flakes, transforming the forest into a magical landscape of unreal purity. Each tree, each branch was dressed in its white coat, creating a silent and magical canvas. The air was cool, but pleasantly mild, carrying the sweet, intoxicating scents of winter.
In the middle of this snowy expanse, a small wooden bench seemed to invite you to take a break. It sat there, alone, on a path, between the bare trees, perfect for admiring the calm immensity of nature. The footprints of a few footsteps in the snow showed that the place was rare, but still visited, a small secret hiding place, known only to those who took the time to venture into the heart of the forest.
Not far away, hidden among the trees, a cozy chalet appeared in the morning mist, seeming straight out of a story. The walls were tinted red, letting out a warm, enveloping light. Smoke rose lazily from the chimney, creating gray swirls that mingled with the winter clouds.
Upon entering, the warm air immediately enveloped the young woman, the perfect welcome after the cold outside. A small fire crackled in the fireplace, casting a soft glow into the room, and a coffee table waited, ready to offer a moment of comfort.
She sat down on a chaise longue facing another, with a small pedestal table at her side on which a porcelain teapot waited, its delicate steam mingling with the refined aromas escaping. The tea, a Darjeeling with subtle floral notes, was like a delight. at the end of this afternoon. The orange-golden liquid, delicate and lively, managed to warm his mind as much as his body. Each sip was sweet and comforting, a light escape.
Through the window, she watched the snowflakes swirl in the air that must have been icy by now, while the gentle warmth of the cabin contrasted with the world outside. It was one of those rare moments where everything seemed perfectly in place, where the snow, the forest, the bench, the chalet and this sublime tea formed a perfectly harmonious whole.
The moment was suspended, precious, almost unreal. She closed her eyes, letting herself go into this simple and pure tranquility, in perfect harmony with the nature that surrounded her.
