Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

"My hands are so frozen they might as well be stones, and yet you're still going at it like there's no tomorrow. Planning on giving up surgery?"

The icy chill of her hands was soon enveloped by a warm embrace as Leanne looked down, murmuring, "It's not too bad..."

Before she could finish, Curtis scooped up her dangling left hand, warming it within his own.

His fingers brushed against her wedding ring, caressing it a few times without a word.

Leanne made no attempt to pull away. Snowflakes settled on Curtis' coat shoulders, his warmth transferring to her.

His dark lashes partially lowered, catching snowflakes, as he tenderly kissed her cold fingertips.

Gradually, the warmth seeped into Leanne's bones, thawing the chill. After a while, she suddenly asked, "How long has it been since you shaved?"

Curtis stiffened his expression, his hand instinctively reaching for his chin. He had been here for a few days, living alone, neglecting to shave.
