Patty quietly knocked before coming in. "Grandma?"
"Patty?" she softly replied.
He pulled up the chair beside her bed. "How are you?"
"Just a little tired, dear. Are you dressing up for something?"
"I'm going on a date tonight! Do you like my dress?" He flattened it out a little, making sure she could see it.
She smiled warmly. "So pretty! But you must be so cold."
Patty shook his head, holding her hand. "I have a coat downstairs. We'll be indoors most of the night anyway, I won't be cold at all."
Grandma still seemed worried. "So cold. Always cold, even if you only feel it when the sun's out."
Patty frowned, but spotted the book on her bedside table. "Is that from a poem? What does it mean?"
"It's so cold out there. You won't feel warm for such a long time."
