The rhythmic rise and fall of his chest as he breathes and the counter-rhythm of his heartbeat are some of the most soothing sounds nature has ever produced. She's so glad for them, right in this moment. So glad for him. Going for a walk will mean she has to move, but maybe she can tuck herself against his side and continue enjoying his warmth.

"Upstairs or down?" Some decisions mean doing a little bad to do more good. That doesn't make it easier for anyone involved. It would be easy to forget that when he's being so accommodating. She could let herself think the only reason he's being kind is because he loves her, and ignore the rising urgency. But would that be kind to either of them?

It's easy to smile when he's going to smile back like that. "Not very long. Just long enough to start wishing you were here."
