Cade snuggled closer under the blankets without a second thought. He pulled the blanket close up around him. He didn't like the cold. The lights flickered again. The weight of the snow and ice on the lines must be making things bad.
The show was still on and he liked hearing Anna laugh. It made the apartment feel alive. He hoped they didn't lose power so they could continue watching the show but he could feel her warmth next to him and her body as she laughed. It was distracting and he still wasn't sure how he felt about the feelings. And as much as he liked Anna and was sure the sex could be good -- he could do with some good sex, but he didn't want it to be just that -- feeling good. It still felt too soon.
They were about to flip to the next episode when the power flickered once, then twice and then the third time it went out completely. "Well shit."
