Moonlight

Lisa woke with a start. Something's wrong…but what? she thought as she lie in the silent stillness. Slowly, she realised that she was naked. Naked…why?…

She noticed a slight whistle, a gentle, sighing breath. Brian…oh, Brian. She rolled over, and kissed his forehead. His eyes rolled under their lids. She set her head on his chest, and sighed. She smiled, a glad, sad, tired smile. She kissed him once more, then got out of bed. She draped a nightgown around herself, and opened the shades.

The moon was full. It loomed near the horizon, opalescent white. Lisa turned and looked at herself in the mirror. She shimmied, watching the shadows and silvery light as they played on her skin. She looked up at the moon. She smiled.

She danced on the roof, her heart bursting with laughter. She stepped and spun, her skin tight and shivering in the cold. She rested against the wall, the thin gossamer gown flowing down and across from one shoulder. The brilliant moon reflected in her eyes.
