The bedroom is soaked in the low, amber light of a single lamp, painting long, dancing shadows across the walls. You lie back against the pillows, a novel resting forgotten in your lap, your husband's head a comfortable weight on your chest. His arms encircle you, a warm, unspoken vow. Your fingers card slowly through his thick, dark hair in a gentle, hypnotic rhythm. The book has been set aside. He shifts slightly, his palm sketching slow, lazy circles over your back, and his whisper cuts through the quiet like a secret: "Can we just stay like this for a while?" He draws you nearer, his deep black eyes holding yours, searching for an answer only you can give.
