“My goodness, I daren't think how late we are!" She suddenly developed another craze for speed.”

“Good morning.'

Cassian's fingers idly smoothed her hair. 'Good morning to you, too.' He glanced toward the mantel- the small wooden clock in its centre, then lurched up. 'Shit.'

Nesta frowned. 'You have somewhere to be?' He was already hopping into his pants, scanning the floor for the rest of his clothes. Nesta silently pointed to the other side of the bed, where his shirt lay atop her dress.

'Snowball fight. I'll be late.'

Nesta had to unload every word of his statement. But she could only ask. 'What?'

'Annual tradition, with Rhys and Az. We go up tot he mountain cabin- remind me to take you there one day- and... Well, it's a long story, but we've done it pretty much every year for centuries, and I haven't won in years. If I don't win this year, I will never hear the end of it.' All of this was said while shoving himself into his shirt, leather jacket, and boots.

Nesta just laughed. 'You three- the most feared warriors in all the land- have an annual snowball fight?'

Cassian reached the door, throwing her a wicked grin. 'Did I mention we take a steam in the birchin attached to the cabin afterward?'

From that wicked grin, she knew he meant completely naked.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“I'm running late, but there's always time to scribble weird messages in guest signage books. Also, am I really late? The Catholic Church added a thousand years to history, so I figure I'm actually way ahead of schedule.”
― Jarod Kintz, Eggs, they’re not just for breakfast
