Click.

That night the machine started early. As soon as Fallon went to bed. It worked through the night. It was silent. Its parts well oiled. Well cared for. The phrase 'labour or love' is invoked too often, to describe the most mundane of things. When it came to this machine, therefore, the phrase was too weak. Too watered down. So it won't be used. Let's just watch instead.

See the levers slide back and forth. See the switches go on and off. The wheel turns a full circle. One fifth of a circle back. A gear moves into position and the wheel continues. Slower now. Another full circle. Are we to see any meaning here? Are the clicks and whirs, so soft, somehow symbolic of what the machine is doing? And why is it working so hard tonight?

Unanswered questions! But watching it is kind of beautiful, isn't it? Intriguing, or hypnotic maybe? No. There's a smile here. However slight and small. It's hiding in our features. A satisfaction like watching a lean leopard creep through the grass. And like the nocturnal leopard, the machine stopped at last, when the sun rose in a clear sky. Shone through Fallon's bedroom window. Crept carefully along the floor, caressing her legs and body before at last stroking her cheeks and kissing her awake like a nurturing mother.

Darragh came over early. Fallon was still in her robe and nightgown when he rang the bell. He always rang. Rather than use his own key and surprise her in a private moment. He'd never caught her clipping her toe-nails or picking her teeth. Or worse.

"Hello, gorgeous," he said. Kissed her and completed his traditional triple greeting: doorbell, kiss, hello.

"Mm. What's that smell? The one that's not my hunky man?"

"That's me too," Darragh said. He held up a bag with a green logo on it.

"Brekkie!" she said, "let me get us set up on the kitchen."

"I'll do it. You get the coffee going. I can never figure your machine."

They ate and drank coffee.

"So, Fallon. I've been thinking," he said. Between sips.

"I don't pay you think," she said.

"I want a raise."

They laughed and smiled at each other.

"What have you been thinking about then?" she asked.

"I think. I think we should talk about it at least. About moving in together," he said.

"Oh, Darragh!" she said, "How long have you been thinking about this. I've wanted to say it for ages."

"A few weeks I guess. Then. I don't know. Everything seemed so perfect today. I just woke up and everything was so good. And I was thinking, I'm only missing one thing. To wake up with you."

"Let's do it," she said, "give notice today. We'll move your things over when we have time."

"I was going to say. I'd save a lot of money by living here. And we could use that to get a bigger place. If you want. And..."

"Say no more. I want you here," she said. She put the coffee cups away and leaned over his shoulder. Kissed him. How soft! How wonderful to connect their bodies this way.
