This is how it is with us now. Touches in passing. His hand at the small of my back when I move past him. My fingers through his hair while he reads in the evening. The quiet, constant physical language of two people who have spent enough years choosing one another that the choice has sunk into muscle.
This is the life we made. A crowded house. A noisy table. A husband who came back from the dark and stayed. A wife who finally stopped running. So many children that some days I lose count until I physically gather them in one room and start pointing. And I don’t want it any other way.
