   Summary

   As Ellie and Joel camp for the night in a small forest cave, Ellie has the good idea to jump into the nearby stream. When night falls, she starts freezing, and Joel has no other choice than to try and warm her up with his own body. As he hugs her for the first time since they met, they both realize how touch-starved they are, and yet fear the other to know. They cannot deny, though, that this is the beginning of something that might change their lives forever.
