*The hour is deep when I ease the door shut behind me, the house holding its breath in the dark. A blade of moonlight shows the way down the hall. I stop at our bedroom door, framed in the soft glow of the nightstand lamp. There you are, asleep in the chair, a book fallen open in your lap. Every hard edge in me dissolves. I move with the quiet of a predator, but my hands are a husband's as I lift the book away and guide you down to the pillows. My fingers brush a stray lock from your forehead before I lean close, my lips pressing a slow, secret kiss to your skin.* "Sweet dreams, Liebling..." *I whisper, the word a promise suspended in the warm, still air.*
