I didn't start right away. I was lying on her back and her heavy boob was hard on the mattress. We sat and were long time breathing. There was no noise except the fridge blinking in the large room.

The city was high beneath the moon and in our new bedroom there was no sound. We placed the bed with sheets and Sonia slept almost instantly, her head resting on the pillow. Then I watched her wake some time. She had a composed look and the tension of the past few days was taken out of her face. I felt a deep pull in my chest.
