Quite a chilling tale. I like the use of contrast between her/him, cold/hot, etc. That last sentence turned into a run-on though.

Run-on sentences are my guilty pleasure. I’m trying to give them up, honest. Thanks for your feedback. <3

Ah, we share a guilty pleasure then Ms Dawn, as I too incorporate far to many periods than I think are healthy in my writing, but I enjoy seeing that others use them also…
