A dull ringing interrupted her dreaming. Whenever she felt the body next to her move, her mind tried so hard to cling to fading whisps of what it had been thinking seconds before. Whenever she heard Adam grunt and pull himself from the warmth of their comforter she turned and tried to go back to sleep.
It wasn't dawn yet, maybe half past four in the morning. A haze was still hanging over Eisha as she turned. Time had passed, but she didn't know how much. A hand on her leg made her stir. Warm lips pushed against her own and she kissed back with a smile.
"I love you." Adam had such a sweet and gentle voice.
"I love you, too." Eisha strained to turn and wrap her arms around his waist where he sat on the eddge of the bed. She squeezed. He kissed her lips again and then her forehead. She sank back down and curled up with the blanket tucked under her feet. "Have a good day."
"You too, sweetie."
With that he rose and walked out of their bedroom, closing the door just a little behind him. Eisha listened as he gathered his bags and headed out the front door. By the time she heard his key turn the lock she was already slipping back into a deep sleep.
