The night had set in. It brought the cold with it. I turned off the light, it took a minute for my eyes to adjust to the sudden darkness. I was awake still, she had fallen asleep.

In that moment, I was happy. A warmth spread through my entire body. A warmth that only she could provide, that only she had provided. She moved a bit more. She had rolled over more, her face keeping still against mine. But this time her arm was placed over the top of me. Like I was hers now. It only took her a few days till that was true.
