His feet remain cold

Beautifully written. I have a significant # of divorced socks, allocated to the backet of hopefull reconciliation. Some have resigned to mating again with another of similar characteristics. I'm wearing them now.
This gave me a great visual. I loved it!
thanks everybody!
Simple, yet powerful.
I love this! Nice work!
Wow, that is so evocative. Reallys gets to me even with (or maybe because of) so few words.
