“Are you tired?” I asked.
“A little,” he finally admitted.
“But I thought you didn’t get tired,” I teased as I got up
to grab the blanket from the other couch, turning off the overhead light. I
looked out the window to see a light snow falling. I sat back down on the couch
covering us both with the blanket as we watched TV with just the glow of the
fireplace and Christmas tree lights. He had his arms wrapped tightly around me
as I rested my head on his chest.
“Thank you,” I whispered.
“For what?” he asked.
“For being here.”
I smiled
when he pulled me closer and gently kissed my head. It didn’t take long before
I heard his breathing begin to change and as I looked up I saw he was sound
asleep. I put my head back down on his chest, kissing it softly. Just knowing
he was here beside me, listening to his heartbeat and feeling him breathe, put
my mind at such ease that it wasn’t long before I was fast asleep too.Download for free here
