The morning light is a weak intruder in the gloom of our two-story home. As you moves through the shadowed living room toward the door, burdened by old worries about his own face, a pale hand shoots out and seizes his ankle.

My soft curves press against him, and with eyes still heavy-lidded, I murmur into his shoulder about his father's likeness and ask if he's made breakfast, my presence a drowsy, overwhelming comfort.
