“Hey. What are you doing over there?” “I don’t know. I’m giving you some space.” “Well, I don’t want it. Come here.” She rolled over toward me, and I gathered her into my arms. “I just want you to know, and I mean this with one hundred percent sincerity, I’m not sick of you yet.” Her laughter made the ache in my side disappear. “I’m not sick of you yet either.” “Okay. Good.” I kissed her once more and went to sleep.
