Once Vincent and Eve finished supper with their family, their trunks were loaded for the journey, and they left in the carriage with Mr. Briggs riding the carriage. Right now, Eve laid her head on Vincent's shoulder, staring outside the window at the darkness offered by the forest. The light fell from the lantern that hung on the sides of the carriage.
When the cold weather slithered into Eve's body, she shivered despite wearing a thick coat. Vincent remarked,
"You should wear my coat too, you will feel much better with it. The cold doesn't affect me as much as it does to you."
Eve pulled her head away from Vincent's shoulder and said, "I am fine." And she put her hand around his arm, hugging it and feeling a sense of bliss and safety.
Vincent kissed Eve's head and said, "My dearest Eve. I have other ways to warm you, if you are willing to."
