Kendra snuggles against my chest. Her back rises with a deep inhale. I hug her to me. She lets out a hum. “Luther?” I stroke a hand down her back. “Go back to sleep, Baby.” She hums again. But doesn’t say more. I wrap my fingers around hers on my chest. And I close my eyes. I can be this for her. Be her comfort. Be her warmth. I can be anything for her.
