Cold.

Oh so cold.

Alex Eames couldn't stop shivering, her body felt like ice. Even under the thick cotton sheets of her bed was she freezing. It was like there was absolutly no heat at all in the room. Heat was coming out of the radiator, but wasn't having any affect on the room's temperature. It was so cold.

She tried everything to warm up: heavy clothes, warm drinks, even exercising. None of which seemed to work. It was almost as if something was missing. Finally, she settled on curling up under the covers to retain any body heat she could.

The bedroom door opened and a large figure entered. After a few familiar noises, such as someone getting undressed and changing clothes, the mystery person climbed in the bed behind Alex. Wrapping an arm around her, he pulled her close, sharing his body heat with her to warm her up.

At last, with Bobby Goren pressed up against her, Alex warmed up and fell fast asleep.
