Graham woke up to sunshine pouring in around the curtains—Cadence’s curtains. She was nestled up against him, her hair tangled and her breathing low and even. Still asleep.

Some icy anxiety in his heart cracked and floated away. They were still here. They were together. It wasn’t that the rest didn’t matter, but it had a new context. All politics really were local.

“What time is it?” Cadence murmured. Not asleep, then.

He kissed her hair and found his phone. “6:20. I need to get home and finish that speech.”

When she rolled over, Cadence was laughing. “I’d give you crap, but the truth is, I woke up feeling the same way.”

“That’s why we’re perfect for each other.” Oh sheesh, maybe he shouldn’t have said that.

But she watched him for a few seconds, and then she lightly set her hand on his chest. “Yes, we are.”

He didn’t go right away, however. They snuggled together, checking the news and taking a few more minutes to savor each other’s warmth. Against all logic, the global crisis had stabilized. War no longer seemed imminent, or at least no more imminent than it normally was.

Finally he got up and put on his clothing, watching her watch him. When he’d finished, he cupped her face. “I’ll see you at work?”

“Yes.”

He’d keep his hands off her at the statehouse, no problem. After all, he’d had a year’s worth of practice at that. But he wasn’t going to be able to keep the lust off his face, or the exhaustion and other souvenirs of their crazy, world-saving night. It just turned out the world they’d saved had been his.

“And you’ll have dinner with me?” he asked.

“Tonight or always?”

“Both.”

“In that case, of course.”

And he was certain they would.
