“I don’t think this is fixing me,” she says, curled into his side. There is no barrier of a blanket between them; she shivers, spots of cold raised along her arms. He pulls her to him by her waist, mindful of her glass ribcage.

“I know.” Everyone knows.

His arms around her hold her together. She keeps a feeble shape, while her heart beats louder and the timbre jostles her into more splintered pieces. The moment he leaves, they’ll fall softly to the sheets, then be blown under her bed by the breeze of the open window. Over broken floorboards, above a lullaby that no longer plays.

He shifts when he cannot smell the salt on her cheeks anymore. Her hand darts to his, pulling him closer until neither can feel the warm air between their bodies – only the frost spiraling out from both of them.

She brushes her lips along his knuckles and sighs, “Stay a little longer.”

“Until?” he asks.

Her eyes flutter closed, her lips pricking his shoulder when she says, “Until you get hungry.”
