It's a cold winter in London and Bodie freezes not only because of the weather. He freezes because Doyle is not there.
With KrisserCI5's words: Bodie comes to grips with winter.

I love this story because it shows in a wonderful way that they belonge together and that the inner frost disappears when they are together.
These are some of my favourit lines:

Doyle watched Bodie alternate between boys, up and down the hill. His partner was acting like the big kid he always thought he was. He didn't see this side of Bodie very often during the winter. It was as if he lost all his happiness during the coldest time of the year.

Well, except that winter four years ago when they had that stakeout that lasted from autumn to spring. Only year he had missed going home.

Doyle's speculation stood frozen on that last thought.

It couldn't be that simple . . . could it?

In that moment, Doyle had a revelation. He was happy as well. Happy that Bodie had finally met his family. Happy that they liked him. Happy that his partner was acting so carefree. He was happy because Bodie was happy.

So, go and enjoy!
