- composed of too-long limbs, all angles and surprising gracefulness
- dark hair and too-big jumpers contrasted against pale skin and sharp bones
- dim lighting makes cheekbones seem more prominent
- curling toes into plush carpet
- see all bumps of spine through shirt, ridging back (fingertips between vertebrae, a sort of lock and key)
- tip of nose red from biting cold
- eyelashes shimmer like tinsel from light rain
- ragged thumbnail caught on jumper, jeans, lips
- mouth softened in corners, an almost smile
- pillow marks still left on cheeks
- angles of elbows and shoulders sharp underneath layers of soft clothes.
- slouched, hands dug into pockets, hood pulled up against wind, well-worn trainers
- coffee in the morning? not too keen on coffee, takes tea
- crossword puzzles and ink-stained fingertips and a bit on lip
- voice warm and low and thick, hoarse from barely any sleep
- like warm skin, all creased in sleep, hair soft and flattened against temple
- like wine and champagne and secondhand smoke
