She has been here for weeks, has not disappeared, and only lies perfect and sleeping, warm and breathing on that blue sofa. I must be quiet, all the time. I cannot even risk the creak of the opening door in case of waking her. I cannot risk a sound on of the floorboard in case of waking her. The days go round her and she lies warm and still at the centre, while my breathing catches from being kept so quiet so long, while I wait and watch and cannot move for fear of her eyes opening again. Why has she not left or faded, a ghost as she should be? Ghosts fade when laid to rest, but she lies a woman grown and lovely and alive but sleeping for weeks now. I have not moved. I cannot move. If her eyes open, who knows what she will see.
