I wanted to ignore her…
But I couldn't.
Which is how I found myself lying next to her on the bed.
I was on top of the covers.
I didn't trust myself underneath those plush blankets.
Her silken skin so close to mine.
She sighed.
"What?" I whispered into the darkness.
"What's wrong?" She asked as she rolled over towards me.
Her belly making things difficult.
"Nothing is wrong." I said, lying through my teeth.
"Something is wrong." She sighed as she reached for me.
I died a little as her hand swept across my forehead and through my hair.
