”Our presence on the Moon will enable further explorations in the years to come.....”
Jess sighs and lays back in Steven’s arms,and he thinks she looks pretty in the Sun light. He’s so cuddly,so cute......why am I thinking this about my own BROTHER?
“Look,Jess”, he says to her half-asleep self. She vaguely eyes the crutches mounted against the wall,the results of that skateboard accident from last week. “See those motes,making patterns in the light? There are so,so many of them.”
”I know,Steve,I know.”
”How much longer do you want me to hold you here?”
Ideally? Forever. “A few more minutes?”
He nods and runs his fingers through her hair. “Did anyone tell you you’re adorable?”
”Yeah....I guess.”
Before she knows it,she falls asleep,the beat of his heart serving as her comforter.
