Leon loved the cold. He loved to be able to get under a blanket and relax in front of a fireplace, maybe have a cup of coffee with him. But also because he could trap you.

You didn't hate the cold but you certainly did not like it over normal temperatures. You liked to lay down without needing a blanket, but you could have one on if you preferred.

Leon had this secret. He'd turn the heat off in the house, tell you that the furnace went out once again when you complained, and soon enough, you'd crawl under his blanket with him. Could he ask for you to cuddle him? He could, but this was more fun.

He did this again. Turned the heat off, turned the fireplace on and got under the blankets on the couch, waiting for you to join him. Any minute now.
