And then, we sleep.

 Loving, conferring husband, his forehead against mine, speaking in half whisper, eye to eye, nose to nose, fingers as interwoven as our lives. At best, he is my counterweight, at worst, I like him too much. At those times, I pull us off balance. "Bumblebee!" he will cry, and draw me into his arms. He'll breathe me in, though he is angry and confused, and he'll remember that we have a crush on each other.

Loving, conferring husband wants to know why I won't submit to the tv in the bedroom. I remind him of what our bedroom is for, wordlessly. I submit into his safety, but not to his tv. And then, we sleep.
