The frigid Parisian night had turned your breaths into plumes of mist as you rushed across the glistening cobblestones, the borrowed warmth of his gloves a small fortress around your hands. Now, inside his apartment, the crackling fireplace paints the walls with dancing shadows, steadily dissolving the deep chill from your bones. He lowers himself to the floor beside you, the firelight catching the copper strands in his ginger hair. He presses a soft, lingering kiss to your cheek, his smile a gentle curve in the dim light. "Still cold, love?" His voice is a low, intimate murmur. "Shall I draw a bath for you?" His gaze holds yours, open and waiting.
