Sitting in the chair across the room from him and wrapped in a blanket, I watched Dylan sleep. Our evening with the kids had been fun. Mark and Winnie played hide the wiener with Bramble and Briar. Rufus was delighted to have a new person to scratch his belly. Rotten dog. After Troy picked up Mark, Winnie went to bed without a protest, because she had played so hard all day she was exhausted. Dylan and I curled up in the recliner watching television. We didn’t talk about the dream or the vape mod.

When it got time to go to bed, he made love to me silently and strong. We didn’t speak at all, just using the time to explore the other’s pleasure. He smoked on the vape with Mike’s magic liquid, then quickly fell asleep. I couldn’t turn my brain off. So, I climbed into the chair to watch him sleep. After a while, I could tell that his eyes moved as if he were dreaming. He made no facial expressions to indicate whether it was a good dream or not. Finally, I saw his eyes settle. They didn’t move for a very long time. He rolled over on the bed reaching for me.

“Grace,” he mumbled, realizing I wasn’t there.

“I’m here,” I said, crawling back into the bed with him. He pulled me close to him spooning his body with mine. He felt hotter than he normally did. That worried me, but I dismissed it until the next morning when I woke up in a sweat. I felt like I was in a heater. I pushed away from him gently.

“What’s wrong?” His voice was groggy.

“I’m burning up. You are overheating me,” I giggled.

A lazy smile crossed his face. “I do know how to get you hot,” he said.

“Yes, you do,” I smiled. Eagerly I waited for him to tell me about the dream, but he drifted back to sleep smiling. I hated to disturb him. I didn’t know how well he had been sleeping since Stephanie arrived and our world got turned on its side. We were learning to walk sideways. It seemed the natural state of things in Shady Grove. I heard Winnie get up, then turn on the television to cartoons. Rufus stirred at our bedroom door wanting out. I kissed Dylan on the cheek, then got up to let the dog out. It was time to be a Mom. Looking back to his sleeping form, a dark thought crossed over me. Even with all the confusion with Levi in my head, there was no one I wanted like Dylan. I couldn’t imagine breathing, much less living without him. He wasn’t allowed to die.

“Morning, Momma,” Winnie said. “I think I’ll have grits for breakfast.”

“Grits with cheese?” I asked opening the front door to allow Rufus out to do his business. I looked across the trailer park to see Cletus and Tater outside sorting plastic bottles again. A storm cloud gathered in the distance. So much rain.

“Of course,” Winnie said with sass.
