“Oh, good…” She sighed in relief when he said the room was warm enough. She nodded a little when he asked if she had brought him to the temple. “Oh… I don’t mind. I was worried about you, so I didn’t even think about that.” She smiled and laughed a little nervously. It had been a little bit of a struggle, but she was strong and the snow made it easier to drag him. “I wanted to get you out of the cold as quickly as I could… I couldn’t have waited for help.”

“It wasn’t your fault…” She didn’t want him to apologize. It wasn’t his fault that he got hurt, and she should have been more responsibility. She noticed that his stomach was rumbling. “Ah, but you should eat first… I can go get him and some dinner for us…” She stood in front of him, and gently put her hand on his shoulder. “You shouldn’t get up yet…”

“Well… Thank you. I don’t know how I would end up if you had gone for help.” Death was not the first thing to come to Caleb’s mind, but he had read about the effects of being exposed to the harsh cold for so long. He could have very easily lost a finger or a toe to frostbite. Had his reaction to the cold been more violent, he could have ended up losing his life. “I’ve never passed out because of the cold before. It’s strange. I didn’t have that sort of trouble while I was travelling to the temple.” Maybe the gods had decided to make him have a moment of weakness for their own amusement. In that case, Caleb hoped that they had a good laugh at his expense so he wouldn’t have to suffer and feel so humiliated another time. Or, maybe the cold and his hunger had both worked against him. He couldn’t think of any reason for the gods to make him seem like a frail child in front of Sidonie.
“Perhaps I should have had a small snack before dinner…” He still had enough dried fruit to keep him sustained on his returning journey; he could have easily taken from that instead of ignoring his stomach. A jolt ran through his body when she laid her hand on his shoulder and he leaned back. He wouldn’t fight her on that. What if he got to his feet and collapsed immediately? Caleb put his hand over hers and let it linger as he leaned back against the wall. “Thank you…” He resisted the urge to stroke her hand, but he kept contact for a little longer than appropriate as he gazed into her eyes. “I’ll wait here, then…” Reluctantly, he slid his hand off of hers and pulled the blanket up to his chin once she had left the room.

“You’re welcome… I’m glad I could help.” She smiled. It would have been upsetting if he had been injured. “You might still be tired from travelling…” She offered. He had only gotten there yesterday, although it seemed as if it had been much longer. “That might have helped…” But there wasn’t anything to do now but for him to get better. When he willingly leaned back into bed and put his hand over hers, she was so tempted to lean over him and kiss him… Her eyes met his. He was so beautiful… It wasn’t fair. She removed her hand and made herself step away to the door. She really couldn’t behave like this. It wasn’t right. “I’ll be right back…” Her voice was soft and low, distracted by their brief moment.
