Cold
“Are you cold?”
Iris stared anxiously at Jody before answering Perry. “No, I’m okay.”
“You’re shivering.” Perry stepped close and put his arm around her.
“Jody’s shivering too!”
“I’m fine.” Jody’s flat tone suggested otherwise. Iris stared, even after he looked away, arms crossed, shoulders turned in, his shivering obvious even in the wind.
Perry moved behind Iris and opened his jacket around her shoulders, crossing his arms in front of her. He looked at Jody. “You cold?”
Jody shook his head. “Fine.” He bounced on the balls of his feet and looked pointedly away from them. “Don’t mind me.”
