They end this particular chapter with a familiar dance.
Robert allows his wife to lead, to set the pace, to follow the familiar steps.
Where she is usually playful, Cora is solemn and thoughtful. Her blue eye bore down into his and he longs to vanquish the last vestiges of hurt from them.
He remains pliable beneath her touch rising to meet her when she asks, remaining still when she presses into his chest.
Their lovemaking is less about pleasure and more about peace.
When she finally dozes in his arms, he feels complete for the first time in weeks.
I had a tough time with this prompt because the story wasn't in a particular place for a dance, much less a last one. So you kind of have to tilt your head and squint to find the prompt but you won't hold it against me, will you? ;)
