THAT NIGHT, as Chris and I lay in bed together naked, I buried my face in his neck. I loved the way he smelled. It gave me a higher feeling than Rodney’s weed would ever give me.

We lay quiet for a long while before Chris broke the silence. “So…,” he began, but he hesitated to complete the thought. He stroked my hair with one hand; with the other he held my hand to his bare chest. “How are you feeling about everything?” he articulated at last.

I didn’t open my eyes; I didn’t want to interrupt the moment. “What do you mean, ‘everything’?” I asked, stroking the cute little tuft of hair on his chest.

He gave a cynical laugh. “Well… you, me, the mission in general?”

“I guess I’m still trying to make sense of it all,” I said. “What about you? How do you feel?”

Chris thought for a moment. “I am not an apostate,” he said. The defiance in his voice made me open my eyes and look at him. “And I still have a deep love for Jesus Christ,” he continued.

“So do I,” I assured him after a moment’s thought. I wasn’t sure of anything, really, but I wanted to be a rock for Chris. It wasn’t the time to talk about doubts.

Chris turned and smiled at me and stroked my hair again. Then he looked away and his smile faded. “But I do feel guilty. I mean, I have to, you know?” He looked back at me.

“Of course,” I agreed. “I feel guilty too. How can we not? But, you know, the church doesn’t really give us a way to cope with what we’re going through. We’ve got to find a way through this on our own.”

“And that doesn’t scare you?”

I raised my head and looked him in the eye. “It terrifies me. But this is who we are, Chris. We don’t get to choose. I think we’re both on the brink of something new, and it’s going to be rough, but we’ll make it.” I reached up and put my hand to Chris’s cheek. “Everything is going to be fine. Okay?”

Chris turned and nodded his agreement. I slipped my hand behind his neck and pulled his mouth toward mine. We kissed. And then we kissed again, longer, deeper, and more passionately. When we were done, no more words were necessary. I returned my head to Chris’s shoulder and nuzzled his neck. Soon I was asleep.
