    Summary

    The lack of honorifics sends a thrill through her spine. Who is this man, and why does he behave this way, eyes so cold examining her skin, her mind, her soul? Does he think he’s close enough to her to treat her like this? Or does he care so little it doesn’t matter? And is that admiration in his voice or is he just matter-of-fact as always; is there nothing beneath his hard-shelled exterior, nothing viscous and soft she could plunge her hand in if she cracked him?

    He walks away, leaving her dazed, frying in the burning sun.

    As these things go, they get snowed in.
