Diane pulled the stops out for our last night in the house. We gorged on what perishables we had left in the pantry, while she put most of a bottle of wine away. As ever, I had to limit my alcohol, so only needed one drink to get a buzz on.

“Can’t let it go to waste!” she proclaimed, glugging herself another glassful. She ended the night dancing to her favorite CD, an 80s compilation I’d found for her in the bargain bin of an abandoned music store. She bounced around in a blur of hair and limbs, laughing and spinning until the room started to spin for her too, at which point she collapsed heavily onto the couch.

I was still too drained from heaving boxes around to help her to bed. Instead, I fetched a duvet and covered her. As I tucked her in, she reached up a hand, slowly, like she was moving through water, and touched my cheek.

“Thanks, Will.” She smiled crookedly.

And she was asleep.
