Billy Hugged himself tighter, letting his gloved hands absorb the warmth from his body. If there was one thing he hated about winters in Madtown, was there was absolutely no heat unless you lit a fire, which was suicide here. Not that Billy couldn't fend for himself ( ... )

Eyeing the stranger who'd approached her, Adie slipped her hands behind her back, willing the first layer to shed and reveal the element beneath. Clenching cold, steel fingers, she watched as he sat down, greeting her with a easy smile, out of place in the desolate surroundings.

Staring at him a long moment, she reached out and snatched the piece of bread without a word, tearing off a piece and stuffing the rest in her pocket. She remembered now. How could she forget that day? It was imprinted in her mind as surely the ink she'd left under so many skins.

Adie ripped a piece of the bread off with her teeth, chewing quickly and swallowing hard, never taking her eyes from him.

"I see you're still playing good samaritan."

Billy smiled sheepishly. "What can I say? Someone has to care. It's rare to find that nowadays, especially in here."
