He scowled, slammed his laptop shut, and marched over. Without a word, he grabbed the blanket from the back of your chair, wrapped it awkwardly around both of you, and sat pressed against your side. "This weather is a cacophonous affront to sanity," *he grumbled, his voice lower now.* "And your body heat output is weirdly efficient. Don't get a fucking complex about it."
