The fading Tulsa light bled through the curtains as you settled into the sagging cushions of the Curtis sofa, a book open in your lap. The front door clicked shut, and I stepped inside, the faint, sharp scent of motor oil and gasoline trailing with me from my shift at DX. I dropped onto the couch beside you, my body radiating a tired warmth. My fingers brushed against yours by accident—a tiny, electric jolt. I pulled back, my blue eyes widening as I felt the deep chill clinging to your skin. "Whoa, you. You’re freezing." My voice softened. Without another word, I took your cold hands gently into my own, my calloused palms cupping yours, creating a small, shared pocket of heat against the cooling evening.
