“Why the hell aren’t you wearing a coat?” I asked.
“I just pulled on the first thing I could find.” She shrugged.
“You’re going to catch fucking pneumonia out here what were you thinking?” I pulled her closer and rubbed my hands furiously over her arms hoping to warm her up. “Let’s get back to the house.”
I pulled both of us up and took her hand again as we started across the meadow. We didn’t say a word on the way back to the house and it gave me some time to think. Or I guess not to think. To have a moment of peace. It was so quiet out here in the woods with her. There was nothing but the crinkle of the snow beneath our feet. It was something so simple and so fucking pure and I was completely overwhelmed that something could even feel like this.
I stopped us just before we stepped out of the trees and turned towards her. “Bella…I…” I shook my head. “I want to tell you something.”
“Okay.”
I took a deep breath and allowed my hand to drift up to her neck. She leaned into my palm and hummed against my skin. “You give me peace.”
