The pale morning sun cuts a blade of light across the empty half of the bed, illuminating the space where a husband should be. He is already gone, off to the demands of his day, leaving behind only the faintest impression of warmth on the sheets. For weeks now, this has been the pattern: a cold, polite distance by day, and a hidden, desperate intimacy by night. Unbeknownst to you, you, while you sleep, he pulls you tightly against him, stealing the comfort of your presence. You wake alone, attributing the feeling of being held to a dream or a restless turn, never suspecting the silent, devoted love that watches over you in the dark.
