It's the quiet moments that sustains them through the hard days at work
The morning alarm blares, waking them both from slumber.
Dis-entangling themselves from one another, soft smiles are exchanged as one heads to the shower, the other to the kitchen.
Over a calming, silent breakfast, more shared smiles and maybe a deliberate brush of hands or two, as they both reach for the salt or try to refill the other's coffee.
Before too long, it's time to face the world again.
As some routines remain unbroken, one will leave before the other.
With one last private moment to connect, they share a re-affirming embrace, a soothing caress and a warm smile
A/N: Keep in mind: Just because they're sleeping together in the same bed does not mean they've slept together yet.
Remember"Slow and steady" has been thier course so far.
