As the day came to a close, she finally had the courage to set him down and share her feelings. She took a deep breath, she looked him in the eyes, and she told him everything. She told him about the sensation in her stomach, and she told him about her fears, and she told him about her hopes.
Atlas listened, he held her hand, and he was filled with concern. He asked questions, he offered support, and he was filled with love. He was filled with the knowledge that he was there for her, he was filled with the knowledge that he was going to do everything he could to help her, and he was filled with the knowledge that he loved her for who she was.
As they sat together, they both sighed with relief. They both felt a weight had been lifted, they had felt a sense of shared vulnerability, they both felt a sense of love and appreciation.
Went to bed, they both felt more kinetic, they both felt more open, and they both felt like they were facing their fears hand-in-hand.
And as they laid together, they both felt a sense of love, a sense of appreciation, and a sense of gratitude for the life they have built together. They were lucky, and they were blessed.
