s*t*a*r*s 10 - pt 170

s*t*a*r*s

The sun shimmers into the room through the small opening in the drawn curtains and it falls across Tegan's face.  The brightness makes her stir, but she holds fast to sleep.

Matt traces a finger over her cheekbones, down to her chin, then to her lips.  She stirs again but doesn't turn away.  He knows he's in love because he's never wanted anyone as much as he wanted Tegan.  It was beyond her beauty, beyond her powers but something deep in her soul that made him want to watch her grow old, and grow old with him.

His old would be forty, maybe forty-five and accepting that had been difficult, yet loving her seems to elevate that anger.  Twenty or more years with Tegan will be more life than he might have had without her.  Her eyes creep open.  "You're weirding me out," mutters Tegan.
