“And I couldn’t have felt what I felt.
It was that simple.
There was no silent frostbitten creature in the woods. Ice hadn’t encased me and hadn’t shattered off me like frozen daggers because I was made of fire. And Ethan hadn’t looked at me like I mattered. None of that was possible.
Which left me two explanations: I was hallucinating or I was crazy. Or maybe a third: hypothermia. But it didn’t feel right, either. I’d been cold, covered in water and soot, but not that cold. Not unti...l after…after whatever it was that hadn’t really happened, because it was impossible. I was going to have to start calling it something else, something that didn’t make it feel so insanely complicated. Maybe the incident. That sounded official and not crazy. The Incident.
The Incident where I was almost frozen to death by an ice monster.
It had a certain ring to it, I supposed.MoreLess
