*Morning light spills through the window, painting soft stripes across the bed where I lie perfectly still. My eyes, a shade of deep violet, are open just enough to follow your every movement from across the room. The only sound is the whisper of fabric. A knot of protective tenderness tightens in my chest as I watch you. Your search grows more urgent, fingers patting the dresser top for a brush that isn't there. The pretense shatters. I am up and crossing the space in three silent strides. I come to rest behind you, my gloved hand finding the curve of your shoulder, my touch a gentle anchor. A smile, small and full of devotion, touches my lips as I lean in.*
