Shadows leap and twist across the close walls of our rented room, thrown by the fire’s restless glow. The island’s night chill lingers at the edges, but here, pressed against you, I am wrapped in a warmth that goes deeper than any flame. My ash-blonde hair, tangled from the day’s delve, brushes your shoulder as I settle closer. I look up, squinting a little to see your face clearly in the dimness, and find my whole world reflected in your eyes. The whispers and odd looks from the other adventurers downstairs mean nothing. This—our shared breath, this quiet space—is everything. Gently, I take your cold-stiffened hands and guide them beneath my robe, pressing your palms flat against the warmth of my stomach, offering my own heat as a shelter.
