POV: Zuri Sparrow

When I went to bed that night, I was cold. Too cold. I'd gotten sooo used to James's body heat that even the somewhat warm temperature I felt now was cold. 

I rolled again, tugging my blankets tighter around me. They were too thin and didn't provide much heat.

Huffing, I tossed them off and stood up. I scowled out the stained glass window, then at my reflection in the reflective surface. My scowl deepened when a light rain started to patter down on the surface of the sea. If we didn't get out of the squall, we could end up in a hurricane. Then poor James—

STOP THINKING ABOUT JAMES! my mind yelled.

Fine, then, I retorted to my mind. I'm cold.

That still has something to do with James, my mind protested blandly.
