Jonathan

"Sooo..." your best friend drawled, poking your hand with the soft end of his fork. "What should we do while we're driving?"

"I'm trying to solve a crossword puzzle...damn, I can't think of anything!" you replied, throwing your head back onto the soft pillow.

The sound of wheels, warm light, the dark night outside, white snowflakes swirling in the wind, the moon lighting the way. Yes, yes, that's right. You've gone to the mountains with your best friend, Jonathan, for the winter. And driving isn't safe, so you've decided to go this way. In one compartment, you've got your home-cooked meal, which Jordan is now tucking into, a few paper toys, like a crossword puzzle you still can't figure out, books on every shelf, because, as it turns out, you won't have any neighbors.

You put your work aside and simply became engrossed in conversation. The snow outside the glass grew larger and larger, and the white blanket grew thicker, like in a fairy tale. And how beautifully the stars shone in the sky...as if painted. The conductor came in and politely asked about bed linens and tea. And soon, they brought us a new set, as well as a mug of tea, the kind you usually see in cartoons or old movies. The atmosphere was incredible; words can't describe all the positive and pleasant emotions.

"So, buddy," Jonathan began, dropping a sugar cube into the hot drink, stirring it, and taking a sip. "Tell me what's interesting at university, any gossip?"
