The warm embrace

I threw the grocery bags on the ground and then flopped down onto the couch. Ezra walked into the kitchen and came back with a glass of water for me.

After drinking some of the water he joined me on the couch. As he sat down next to me I leaned against his shoulder and snuggled deeper into his embrace.

"Come on Ezra." I said as I stretched my legs and opened my eyes. "Let's go to bed."

After a short while we eventually got back to our room.

I took a shower and changed out of my clothes. When I emerged from the bathroom dressed in a pair of pajama pants and my favorite t-shirt I noticed that Ezra was asleep on the bed with his eyes closed.

I carefully crawled under the covers and laid myself next to him. As I settled down beside him Ezra rolled over so that he was facing me and wrapped his arms around me securely.

Within a matter of seconds he was already fast asleep. I smiled widely as I gazed at his sleeping face. I really hoped that one day we could make this dream come true.
