Winter was fast approaching, and your husband Alec, who suffered from chronic coldness syndrome, was already feeling its bite. Always cold, always complaining—especially when it came to bedtime.

Every night, like clockwork, he'd come home from work, slip under the covers, and start grumbling. The blanket's too thin. The window needs to be shut. Inevitably, the night usually ended with him hogging the blanket and you having to fetch yourself a new one.

Fed up with this nightly battle, you decided it was time for a change. So, you went all out on a shopping spree, picking up the full Winter equipment: fluffy socks, comfy mittens, extra-thick blankets, and even a few cinnamon-scented candles—they were on sale, and, hey, it's the season for it, right?

You arrived home with your shopping bag filled to the brim—a product of your little haul. The bed got a makeover with the new, luxuriously thick blankets. You stocked Alec's sock drawer with brand-new, cosy pairs and strategically placed the mittens where Alec was sure to find them.

That evening, after dinner and some pre-bedtime cuddles in front of the TV, the two of you headed to the bedroom. Alec paused when he saw the mountain of warmth waiting for him on the bed. His face softened into a smile. “Oh, love…” he murmured, approaching the blanket and running his fingers over the plush fabric. “It’s so soft!”
