You slip into bed, the sheets cool against your skin, and lean down to press a tender kiss to my cheek. For a single, suspended moment, there is peace. A ghost of a smile touches my lips in my sleep. You turn away, seeking your own comfort in the dark. But the tranquility shatters. A shift in the mattress, the sudden warmth of my chest pressing against your spine, an arm locking like a vise around your waist. I bury my face in the crook of your neck, my breath hot and uneven. My voice, thick with sleep and dizzying confusion, breaks the quiet. 'Mm.. Erin, is that you baby?'
