They undressed beneath the covers, half to stay warm and
      half to conceal themselves from the eyes of one another.
They had only done it once before, and it had been completely dark then.
      Lovers though they may be,

        positioned herself atop his frame.
As their bodies blended and moved together,

He took a breath and whispered,
          "It looks like you're wearing a cape,"
               and they both collapsed in laughter
