Kitty fell backward onto the pillow, pulling Doug with her. He folded himself between her and the wall and they melted together, warm and sweaty. He kissed her cheek and ear and chin. She kept one hand on his head, nuzzled deeply in his hair. Outside the creek roared. Through the window she could see stars just appearing in the night sky. Woodsmoke mingled with the incense. Here she could lie forever, Doug beside her. Let this never, ever end.
