The sound of the door sweeping open alerted me to the fact that Ayden had come back inside. As I placed my plate and fork in the kitchen sink, Kay rinsed them off. Despite how much I protested and assured her that I could do it, she wouldn’t hear of it.

I was on my way to find Ayden when he walked into the kitchen. His cheeks and hands were blood red, and his nose put a clown’s to shame. When he first left the table to take the call, I assumed he was going to another part of the house. After hearing the front door open and close, I knew I was wrong.

He was outside all this time on the phone, and apparently without a coat. Why had he felt the need to take his conversation someplace else anyway? The longer I observed him, the more I worried that Izzy had made the call.

“Hey.” I pulled him closer and grabbed his cold hands. “What did you do, forget your coat?”

“Yeah.” His teeth chattered.

I did my best to warm his hands, but he needed his whole body warmed. “Come on. Let’s get you in front of the fire. I can reheat your food whenever you’re ready.”

“Already on it, sweetheart,” Kay chimed in. I glanced at the microwave, noting the plate inside spinning in a circle. I gave her an appreciative nod as she smiled. “I’m taking care of you guys while you’re here. That’s what moms do, so no arguing about it.”

“Thank you, Kay.”

She waved off my comment. “You don’t have to thank me. You’re family now, Mia. We take care of our family. By the way, you can grab the blanket off the sofa in the sitting room. Wrap it around Ayden.”

“Will do.” Nudging him, I motioned for him to walk forward. I guided him through the sitting room, making sure he went to the fireplace first, then I grabbed the blanket Kay mentioned. It was super soft and thick.

As soon as I wrapped it around Ayden, I unfolded his fingers and placed the edge of the blanket against his palm. Then I wrapped his fingers back around it. When I made my way around him and came back to the front, I reached for his other hand.

He drew me against him instead. Once he clutched the other edge of the blanket, our bodies pressed together. I gazed up at him, noting the smile on his face.

“Thank you.”

As he whispered the words, I said nothing when he eased back to look at me. Then his lips were on mine. His cold nose made me flinch, but I ignored it, focusing instead on the feel of his mouth. He wasn’t getting passionate with the kiss. It was sweet and tender.

When he finally pulled away, he leaned his head to mine. “I love you so much.”

“And I love you.”

He smiled again. It warmed my heart to see him feeling better, but a second later I noticed something else. His chest rose and fell with effort.
