Padma rubs her hands together vigorously, willing the feeling to return to the numb digits. Her breaths puff like little clouds – almost solid to make an impact, Padma imagines, as they bounce against Cho's slightly trembling lips. "Are you cold?" Padma whispers, bringing hands that are colder than they are warm to Cho's cheeks.
Cho closes her eyes and leans into the touch. "No," she replies, even as her lips tremble a little more and her fingers dig with a little more force into Padma's skin underneath her sweater. "I'm warm," Cho tells her, turning her face so that her lips brush first against the flat of Padma's thumb, the dip of her palm – her breaths hot, so hot against cold skin.
"Yeah," Padma says thickly, leaning in. Cho's lips are surprisingly warm when Padma meets them. "I'm warm too," she remarks unnecessarily. "Warm enough to feel like I'm burning."
