Beautifully written. A prose-poem. "Each moment, an hour; a day; a life." If they weren't breathing, I'd say they were already frozen into statues. This is like a delicate dance of two people, coming together. I want to continue the story in my mind, as a happy one -- crystal ice melting, the cold disappearing, warmth and fire. But I can't really feel the potential for warmth; it's as if the man and the woman in this glimpse we get, are showing us the frozen crystalline interior of their relationship, and not a meeting on a winter night. Beautiful writing, very fine. It’s almost as if the characters are made of crystal! Beautifully written.
