It is.  her expression mussed

                                 It’s one of the very few . extravagant things I’ve afforded myself for when fall and winter descend.

it was snowing

Yes I can understand it is comforting

    But you don’t care for it?

I do not 

she walked oversat on the edge of the bed seductivelynot once looking away from his eyes undid the scarf at her throat unbuttoned several buttons of her dress

                                           humored smiled   Now?

Annow howbout we go to my place

                                      Ill throw some blankets down in front of the fireplace we can watch the snow fall through the windows talk you can sip wine Ill sip whisky

A fine ending to our delicious dinner date

she ran her hands her long exquisite fingers across the bed

                                                                 I should bundleup she leaned forward go back out into the cold again?

she was enticing

she was seriously a sharp cookie

                                       Yes you should

firmly You’re joking.

Im not

You have a reason? she was becoming irritated  it wasnt becoming on her

I do

Would you care to say?

he chuckled

            Remains a sore spot all these years later

Understand I appreciate how much you enjoydare say relish  your quilt I do

                                                                                   Im not fond

Will you say?

Of course I will

                 As you know my wife died

She bought our girls eiderdown comforters They thought them the cats pajamascoudnt wait for the cold to come over the years that ensued

Yes.

      As do I.

As do you

            I was happy for them Im happy for you 

I made no bones

I do not like them

And.

My wife bought one for our bed

                                  Which was entirely fairshe liked it as much or more than the girlswoudnt have bought them in the first place if not

So during cold weather I threw blankets down in front of the fireplace an slept there
