It would be their last night together. Cancer had stricken her body and her fight for life and given way to the need for rest.

He drew her a bath and gently lowered her in. Despite the pain, she managed a smile and wiped some bubbles on his nose.

He washed her back and they talked about the times that were good.

Later, he placed the bed covers over her and climbed in beside her.

The next day as the clouds moved aside for the morning sun, he held her tight, not quite ready to face the world without her.
