I watch him sleep on the floor. Not even a blanket. Pedri is sleeping on the dirty and too cold floor. It must be uncomfortable.

I should not have snapped at him. He was kind.

I’m so br*ken I do not recognise the kindness in him.

I silently rise to get more for him. As a silent apology. I lay a blanket and an extra pillow. He doesn’t stir. He’s a heavy sleeper.

My eyes gaze upon the tension in his brow. I reach smoothing it unconsi*usly with my thumb.

His eyes open as we are a breath away from each other.

I focus on his l!ps as they part and how s*ft his skin is in my hands.

"I am to do something now. Something that is long overdue.”

With those words he brings his l!ps onto mine slowly.
