Damian couldn't stand to sit in any one place for any length of time. Milani could do it for hours. Not doing much but turning a page or taking a sip of cranberry-grape juice. She read a lot of books.

Today Damian was going to try it. Milani had an abundance of books, and she was going to help him. Damian didn't know what he liked, so she gave him a book called Ender's Game.

Damian had gotten antsy by the tenth page. The book was interesting, but he wanted to move. He glanced over at Milani. She was perfectly still as always. Perfect.

She didn't notice when he stood and hovered over her. She didn't notice when he knelt on the loveseat beside her. Only when he molded himself to her back and draped an arm around her stomach did she look up in surprise.

Here. Damian could stay here forever. He promptly fell asleep smelling her hair. Peace at last.
