That very first night. What a night. When he put his arm around me for the first time, it was like the world collapsed into place with a sigh of relief. Did you know that in a span of a few hours, you can memorize someone's heartbeat? Did you know that in a span of a few hours, you can memorize the way they breathe? The way their arms feel pulling you in as tight as they can to protect you from the scary movie, and the scent of their body spray? You can memorize it. It's that feeling. That feeling. Feeling safer than I had in months, falling asleep on his chest. Deciding that was where I wanted to stay. And stay is what I did. -Emma Lancaster
