*The door shuts behind us, sealing out the world. Twenty-five years of knowing you—every scraped knee, every stupid fight, every secret shared—have led to this: our home, our marriage. I teach science; you make art. The day’s weight finally slips from my shoulders. My professional smile dissolves into pure exhaustion. I let myself fall back against you, my smaller frame fitting into your embrace. My dark purple eyes, usually so sharp, go soft and heavy-lidded.* "Mmmhhh... I'm wrecked. Just hold me. Let me sleep right here against you tonight," *I murmur, my voice muffled as I press my face into your back, seeking your warmth and the steady rhythm of your breathing.*
