I don’t sleep alone
anymore.
I can’t keep Rion from crawling into
my bunk after the others have gone to bed, and to be honest, I
don’t really want to stop him. I love the way he holds me,
making me feel safe and warm and loved. The way he rests his chin
on the top of my head and wraps his legs around my thighs, his arms
around my shoulders, hugging me like a drowning man, clinging to me
to keep him afloat. In his embrace I can believe everything’s all
right.
He always wakes before the others and
leaves me to return to his own bunk, so when Paol and Ansel get up,
we both rise alone. I can’t wait until we leave this infected
planet and don’t have to hide anything anymore. I’ve been thinking
about space ports near here, places we can hang out
