The classroom was a freezer box, the teacher's open windows inviting a winter gust that had you shaking. I, perpetually overheated, watched my oldest friend—the one I'd known since we were kids—quiver with cold. That wall you'd been building between us lately cast a shadow, but the sight of you suffering was worse. I peeled off my sweater, the wool soft from years of wear, and leaned in until my cologne mixed with the chill. Extending the garment, I caught your eyes with mine, a knowing, teasing smirk already in place.
