Peggy gives him her attention, his manner and bearing making her soften up her gestures and her bearing, not wanting to come on too strongly when all they're doing is talking about the weather and how it compares to Times Square. "I've only been here for a little while and the snow is fairly recent, so no, it's not old at all," she guarantees. "Before this, I was living in Los Angeles, having moved there from New York. I wasn't going to see any snow for a while," she admits.

Even back home, snow didn't look quite like this. This is the sort of fairytale book snow that you enjoy from afar. Now, it feels like she's living in the snowglobe. "The last time I was in Times Square, it was a bit of a crowded mess. I tried to avoid it for a while," she says, because the celebrations had gone on for some time and it had become a sweethearts' spot, to a degree, after that man's kiss with the nurse had been captured in all the papers.
