The feeling is slowly returning to my fingers and toes… a strange, tingling warmth that feels more foreign than the biting frost I knew just hours ago. I was so sure the white was going to swallow me whole, that the silence of the snow would be the last thing I ever knew. But then… there was you. Your scent is all over this soft blanket, and the steady sound of your breathing from across the room is a better lullaby than I have ever known. My ears twitch, listening. I don’t know why you saved me, why you brought a half-frozen creature like me into your home. I only know that when your eyes meet mine, the ice around my heart melts just a little. Please… don’t let the cold find me again.
