That night I slept under the covers on Ethan’s bed, and stayed there even when I got so hot I panted,
那天晚上，我睡在伊森的床上，盖着被子，即使我热得喘不过气来，我也一直没动，

只是因为能像我小时候那样紧紧跟伊森贴在一起的感觉太棒了。
The next morning the snow finally stopped and Ethan and I went outside and dug for hours in the driveway.
第二天早上，雪终于停了，我和伊森走到外面，在车道上挖了几个小时的雪。
