3 AM

She woke up next to him for the first time.  Studying him silently in the
3 AM light.  Laying her hand on his chest and watching how it rises and 
falls with the deep breathing of sleep.  Reveling in the way his body 
twitches with dreams, the way he doesn't even seem to notice as she slides
closer and places her full lips against his stubbled cheek.  She slips 
from this reverie into another as she falls back asleep, her body pressed
up next to him, anxiously awaiting the next time she wakes.  Learning the
joys of sharing her bed.
