“It’s cold outside” | Billy to Thomas

{ The Meme }

“Ah – thank you Billy,” Thomas did not hesitate to pull the blanket tighter around his shoulders once it settled, a wealth of gratitude swelling within him. His time amid the fields in Havana had taught him well not to voice complaint, least of all over things no man could control, such as the weather. It had been bitterly cold for some time, and he doubted he was the only man to think so – that Billy was kind enough to see his discomfort and act to alleviate it despite his silence spoke volumes to the other man’s good nature. “Does the weather not bother you?” He wondered, certain that Billy’s attire was no more suited to this chill than his own.
