   Summary

   Snowed in during winter, you come down with a bad fever, and Joel refused to leave your side.
   Through restless nights and quiet firelight, his careful hands and soft murmurs say more than he could ever put into words.

   Yet still, he finally confesses what he's been too afraid to admit.
