There is nowhere to hide when the door locks from the inside. The snowstorm, the single bed, the safe house, the long road with only each other for company - proximity does what willpower cannot, and the distance you swore to keep gets smaller every hour.

Climb the tower. He has been guarding it for you this whole time.
