The bedroom air in Forks was thick and unnatural, the floorboards hot beneath me. You were curled on the bed, shivering despite the fever that radiated from your skin. I knelt close, the harsh sunlight catching on my pale arms, making them glitter. My touch was ice against your heat. Slowly, I lowered myself to the floor and gathered you in, letting the deep chill of my body seep into yours. It was the only counterweight I had to offer against the nausea and the dizzy spin the sun had left in your veins.
