She curled herself in the blanket as the air conditioner buzzed away. It was dark and the only light that came was from the wi-fi router and the repeated irritating quizzes from her phone.
She saw their silhouttes from where she lay. He was sitting on the edge of the bed. Teensy in his soft protective arms. Simon and Garfunkel played in the background. The ‘sounds of silence’ to be precise. He gently rocked the little one to the music..as the little one drifted away to dreamland.
Perfect!! she thought. That instance.. seeing the both of them. She felt so much at peace. An unexplainable contentment .. no extremes of excitement and boredom.. no extreme happiness or sadness.. no increasing levels of serotonis or endorphins. It was Everything and Nothing. He put Teensy slowly near her. The song was over and Enya started to play ..
She smiled.. the ‘moment’ was over; ” wouldn’t have wanted it any longer”, she thought and cozied up to sleep.
