Ian watched Mina curl up in the quilt on his bed, but not before she made a cocoon for herself in the original blanket she was wrapped in. When Ian asked her what she was doing, she claimed to be taking the necessary precautions to protect herself from bacteria. He wanted to be angry with her, but he too would have felt the need to do the same if he were in her shoes. In that aspect, he and Mina were extremely similar.
Ian was still waiting for James to video call him from Mina's apartment to prove that he had kept his part of the bargain. In the meantime, Mina was snuggled up; enjoying the heated blankets and enticing Ian to jump into the bed with her. He had warmed up significantly, but he still felt a chill. When his phone finally rang, it was not the news Ian wanted to hear. Emma was refusing to let James into the apartment, and when Ian relayed the information to Mina, she laughed.
