056 – Bed.

When they move into their first apartment together, they can't afford a double bed. They'll have to settle for a single.

At first it's great, both crammed in so close that they breath the same air, so close they rub and touch and kiss. It's an endless supply of body warmth, of closure and love. Of course, when they move in, it's winter.

As summer comes a knocking, all that excess heat and touching does is prolong suffering. Heated fingertips are too hot, too moist and sweaty. The bed is suddenly really really small, much smaller than either of them remember it being.

Needless to say, it was only a matter of days before they tracked down a second-hand double bed.
