It's Friday night and she's all dressed up. She's been planning this girls night for weeks since she came back from her honeymoon. "Mahal, I'm going." She leans down for a kiss and pauses. RJ's skin is warm, too warm. Maine presses a hand to his forehead.
"Uminom na ako ng gamot," he assures her. "Pahinga lang 'to."
She lays beside him and pulls the comforter over them.
"Di ba may lakad ka pa?" he reminds her.
She curves her body around his, nestling closer. "I'll stay until you fall asleep."
He wakes up in her arms the next morning.
