    Summary

    The first time it happens is after the first blizzard of the winter, when Sam comes home late and half-frozen from helping dig out neighbours in and around Hobbiton:

    “You’re positively frozen out, Sam,” Frodo says, gingerly touching Sam’s ears which, he’s certain, went numb ‘round noon. “You’ve got to be more careful, you’ll catch your death like that.”

    Sam laughs, takes Frodo’s wrist and squeezes. “I seem to remember when we were tweens, you’d forget your own head if it weren’t attached to your shoulders. You and Mister Bilbo both, most forgetful Hobbits I swore I ever met. I’ll be alright, da’.” He says it, that little word, in jest. Something to tease Frodo out of his worries (especially the thought of Sam catching his death), but instead, Frodo freezes, and then something very curious happens.

    Frodo turns very, very pink.
