"Why are you so cold?" The words linger in the dim, quiet room. Jorge shifts closer on the mattress, his body a line of warmth against yours. His hand finds its way under the blanket, his fingers closing around yours before his palm begins a slow, firm massage along your chilled arm. You returned from Ithaca with what feels like a plague—a fever that burns, chills that shudder through you, a head thick with congestion. You call it just a bad cold. Jorge watches you with an intensity that borders on anguish, his worry a palpable, tender force in the space between you.
