I’ve been lying on my bed for hours tossing and turning, unable to go to sleep. Giving up on sleep, I roll over and turn on the bedside table lamp. The room is covered with a faint amber glow from the soft light. I look at the framed picture of Savannah that has taken up permanent residence beside the lamp.

I’d give anything to have her back. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve attempted to bargain with the devil for one more day. Every negotiation with God and Lucifer himself has gone unanswered. I think back, once again, about the means I was planning to use to arrange the meeting between myself and whichever one I ended up in front of. It seems like a lifetime ago that I loaded that glock and met that dirty dealer in that back alley on Main.

I know what I need to be able to sleep, and she’s in the other room. I told my father I’d be at work on time, and I plan to keep my word. The last thing I need is to break another promise to the man who’s been nothing but supportive of me my entire life.

“I’m so sorry, Savannah,” I say to her picture and stand from the bed. My mind is battling between the pain at leaving the bed I shared with my wife and the excitement I feel heading into the room where my lover sleeps.

After a brief stop by my suitcase to grab a condom, I’m sliding into the bed behind London and pulling her against my chest.

“I didn’t think you’d show up,” she says groggily.

“Never doubt that this is right where I want to be,” I whisper against her neck. She doesn’t respond, and I’m thankful that maybe she didn’t hear my vulnerable admission.
