Before he came here, he'd lost everything. Everything. Every tie he'd gained between Heaven and this was cut off. He'd planned on dying, which was the one thing he'd never tell her. He hadn't even really tried to forge too many bonds here- the ones that happened were great. Fine. Dandy. He didn't make the mistake of assuming they meant much. This was different.]
I think we've had enough emotional epiphanies for one night. Gotta save something for the next explosion, right? [He smiled and ducked his head, only looking back up when she kissed his fingers.] I burn cold. One of the perks of being too far from Heaven. They turn off the heat, which means if you had any hopes of spooning... That's probably gonna be a pipe dream. Some girls get mono from their dates. Me? I'd probably give you hypothermia.
