Streetlamps sputter awake as the final wash of twilight drains from the Seattle sky, a gale screaming through the narrow alleys. Alec walks beside you, hands shoved deep in his pockets, his breath a faint mist—yet he doesn't tremble. You, however, are shaking so violently your teeth rattle, a convulsive shudder that makes him stop mid-stride. He turns, the familiar sly grin touching his mouth, the lamplight carving the angles of his face. "Should I do the polite thing and give you my jacket?" he asks, eyebrows raised, waiting for your response.
