Isaac sits with his back against the rear wall of the hangar with my jacket draped over his torso. His eyes are closed, but I can’t help staring at him wondering if he’s freezing. Of course he’s freezing.

Daedric doesn’t even attempt to put his arms around me. I wonder if it’s colder outside or inside the sleeping bag. Finally, I unzip the bag and get out. Daedric turns away from me without bothering to ask where I’m going.

I zip up the sleeping bag and slip on my boots before I tiptoe to Isaac. I just want to see if he’s still awake or if he’s frozen in this position then I’ll go back. I’m within a few feet of him when his eyelids open.

He peels my jacket off and flips it around for me. I slip my arms into the jacket and sit next to him.

“Are you okay?” I ask.

I lean back against the wall and I’m shocked by how cold it feels against my back. Isaac opens his arms wide for me to lean on him instead. I glance at Daedric who’s still facing away from us before I lay my head on Isaac’s shoulder. Isaac rubs my arms to warm me up.

“How are you not frozen over here?” I whisper, as my teeth begin to chatter.

“I’m cold-blooded, remember?”

“How could I forget.”

He pokes me in the side and I try not to laugh.

“You should get back in the sleeping bag,” he says, as he runs his fingers through my hair.

My teeth stop chattering the more I relax and I wonder if hypothermia comes this quickly.

“I’m fine right here,” I say.

We sit like this for a few minutes before my shivering turns into mild convulsions.

He tilts my face up. “I do love you, you know,” he says.

I bury my head in his chest where his warmth defrosts the tip of my nose instantly… like the sun. I breathe deeply to take in his scent.

He kisses the top of my head. “Get back over there.”

I ruffle his hair as I stand. “Good night.”

I take my jacket off and hand it back to him. As I walk away, his fingers brush the back of my leg and a chill passes through me. I keep walking, pretending I’m not worried about leaving him alone in the cold.
