She Sleeps…: She Sleeps…

She Sleeps…
Ladymage Samiko



She sleeps…

…and her hair is once again a thick, brilliant chestnut, curling around his fingers.

She sleeps…

…and she is wide-eyed as his thumbs caress the tips of her breasts.

She sleeps…

…and he lies beside her, watching his palm smooth over her child-full belly.

She sleeps…

…and flinches when his nails bite into her age-marked arm, gripping in the throes of pain.

She awakes…

…and he is standing beside her bed, face younger than she remembers, unlined, holding out his hand to her.

She takes his hand…

…and follows him, unhesitatingly, into the depths of eternal sleep.
