She cried out, pressed a hand to her cheek, drew back from him. When he gave her his coat she pulled it tight around herself, feeling the shivers begin to subside. After a moment, she looked at him, studying him, wanting to understand. He had capacity for such tenderness and such cruelty.
And she wanted to both cower from him, and curl in his embrace. To fear him, and to love him.
