I opened my eyes and immediately closed my arms around Sasha. It was so good to have her back in my arms. I felt at peace. I felt complete.
Her breathing was soft and warm, even. She was still asleep. I had no desire to wake her, so I held her in my arms and closed my eyes again, pretending to stay asleep.
She sighed and wiggled against me.
“Are you pretending to sleep?” she asked.
I chuckled and nodded. “I’m enjoying the moment.”
“Me too. But we should probably get up and figure out what to do next.”
I hugged her and ran my nose through her hair. “Yeah… I guess so.”
Sasha got up and started getting dressed. I followed her with my eyes. I didn’t want to let her out of my sight ever again.
Reluctantly, I got up and got dressed as well. I looped my arm over her shoulders and walked with her to the kitchen.
“What do you want for breakfast? I’m thinking… we should have French toast.” Sasha giggled and headed to the refrigerator.
“French toast sounds lovely.”
