Dim light filters through the blinds when I finally open my eyes the next morning. A slow smile spreads across my face as I remember where I am, what’s transpired. I peer over my shoulder to find Declan’s sleeping face. I’m moved by how peaceful, how at ease his usually intense features seem, now.

Not wanting to wake him, I slip noiselessly out of bed. Smiling, I slip into his discarded white shirt and pad off in search of the bathroom. I want to freshen up before he wakes up. Steal a toothbrush, maybe. I spot a door across the room, where the bathroom of my own suite is situated, and cross to it. The door itself is especially heavy. I have to yank, hard, to make it budge an inch.

That’s a strange design flaw, I think to myself, as the door finally swings open. But then, I raise my eyes and take in what lies beyond the threshold.

The walls are hung with every sort of gun I could imagine, and many I couldn’t begin to. Cubbies and lockers are filled with ammunition, overflowing, even. This is no civilian’s gun collection. This is a weapons locker. A bunker. A goddamn war chest. I stand, staring at the array of deadly machinery spread out before me. The gauzy, brilliant dream of last night rises away like a trail of smoke. I look back at Declan’s sleeping form, my heart heavy.

Of course this couldn’t just be easy.
