He snapped his lighter open, pressed a button. A thin line of fire shot out and the pile of sticks in front of him burst into flame.
"Oh, excellent, darling," Stacey said, huddling close to the blaze.
"Yes. Thank you."
Dale slipped an arm around her and let out a sigh.
It was so cold. He was certain they would freeze without the fire before them and the portico behind, blocking the wind that came in through a broken window. Stacey was warm against his side. He was warm around her shoulders.
"I can’t wait until winter is over," she complained.
"Nor can I," he agreed. "1906 lacks central heating and I do not intend to freeze in a train car."
She groaned. "We could skip winter," she suggested.
"And lose valuable time? Not to mention the suspicion we would raise."
"Yes, of course."
She sighed an made a note to bring more clothes and blankets next time.
