The Way He Looked at Me
An offering.
I can’t hold on forever. My grip slackens. My fingers tremble. I let go.
And I don’t fall.
Because he catches me. Firm. Certain. His hand closes over mine, fingers intertwining with mine like chains that feel good, binding me to him. Mine is tentative at first, unsure. Then it isn’t.
From there, the world softens. Chocolate-scented warmth. Sweetness that clings like a drug. Heat that pools in our bones, curling and rolling. We laugh, quiet and loud, at everything and nothing. The floodgates open.
