"Yeah, good thing." He swallows and looks down at her ankle, readjusting the ice pack a little. He feels her shiver and assumes it's from the cold, so he curls his palm around her ankle just above the ice pack like he can stave off the chill. "Are you too cold? I could get a fire going."
It's so quiet. He never realizes how much white noise there is with so many electric devices running until they're all off, and now there's just silence as he looks over at the girl he wants, the one he can't have, the one who looks even more beautiful than usual in the flickering glow of the candles.
"This probably isn't how you imagined spending your Halloween night," he says quietly, tearing his gaze away to shift the ice again. His hand is freezing and he flexes his fingers before holding the ice back in place again. He's freezing all over, really, because the wet suit helped but he had still been looking forward to a hot shower after his swim, chilled as he was.
