I couldn’t see him. It was dark in the room and I was buried in his chest, but even with my eyes closed I knew him. I’d know him anywhere. I felt rescued, like help had finally arrived. I didn’t have to be strong anymore, I could be a worm and he’d be a worm expert and I could just wiggle down in the dirt and rest my brain. I wanted him to hold me so tight I couldn’t breathe.
