she wakes up feeling warm

its been a long time since I've felt this warm

and then that jolt of panic

did i sleep here?

oh g*d

she runs her hands through her hair

eyes crusted with sleep

she's still in his clothes

did he go out?

she takes a moment and scrambles for her purse

her clothes from the dryer

change and then run

it's too weird to stay

but he's waiting at the door

with coffee

and sleepy eyes

with his hair ruffled like baby bat wings

he looks into her eyes the first time

would you stay and eat with me?

Yes
