    Summary

    Alicia's hand pulls away from his chest as he sits up with fumbling apologies, and a shiver promptly follows, as if the trembles intended to fill that gaping space left behind. It's hard to get words out, with the chill rolling around in his ribcage like a snowball.

    "—Eye of Summer," is all he really registers of Alicia's voice.
