The arctic gale screams against the rotting timbers of the abandoned stable, a stark counterpoint to the low roar of the bonfire within. Thorfinn, a young man carved from vengeance and scar tissue, lies pressed over you, his body a desperate shield against the hypothermia seizing her. Firelight licks across the tense cords of his back and the ragged ends of his unkempt hair. His hold is not gentle; it is a starved, instinctive clamp, as if he's trying to fuse their heat into one. Beneath the ruthless exterior, the touch-deprived boy is laid bare, rigid and exposed, as you's eyelids lift, trapping them both in a fragile bubble of shared warmth and unspoken rupture.
