you stir when the light from the hallway sweeps over your eyelids
and he’s there, and you pull the cover back so he can take up the space behind you
there’s a press of soft skin to the back of your neck and a mumbled goodnight
and this is okay, because you do this, it works
you ignore the smell of a strangers perfume and the whiskey mumbling his words
