Sunlight
There was a certain fascination that came with every morning light. Grace hated waking up early in the morning and avoided it at all cost, but Hannah found a certain joy with being the only one awake with the sun. So while Grace continued to sleep, Hannah got to experience the quiet waking of the world. Few cars were driving on the road and only a couple birds were singing their morning songs. The morning gave Hannah time to reflect on things that had happened in her life and gave her time alone with her thoughts. But today there was only one thing on her mind and one thing in her range of sight.
The sun streamed softly through the curtain that Grace had attempted to shut last night when she finally decided it was time for bed. Grace usually stayed up later than Hannah did so when Grace finally decided it was time to sleep (or when Hannah finally coerced her to come join her in bed), Grace usually tried to close the curtains to ensure that she could sleep as late as she wanted. But last night they had both been more distracted than usual, which was why the gap in the curtains was larger than normal. As the sun moved slightly in position, it climbed up the bed towards Grace’s face. Hannah knew it would probably wake Grace up but the only way of stopping it would be to leave the warm circle of Grace’s arms. When the sun did hit Grace’s face, Hannah heard a mumbling that could only be from her lover.
“Blocks 90% of sunlight my ass…” Grace mumbles softly before moving to bury her head into Hannah’s shoulder.
“Babe the curtains only work if they’re closed all the way. I’ll go close them for you.” Hannah says as she tries to remove herself from Grace’s arms, but then they tighten their hold on Hannah’s waist.
“No.” Hannah silently chuckles at Grace’s antics. “If you get up then the curtains won’t be the only thing not doing their job.”
“Oh really? And what’s the job I wouldn’t be doing.” Hannah places a couple soft kisses on Grace’s forehead.
“Keeping me warm and safe while I sleep more.” Grace said with sleep still very prevalent in her voice. Her brown eyes hadn’t even opened yet, so Hannah knew she would sleep for at least another hour or so.
“Well it would be a shame to not fulfill my job potential now wouldn’t it?” Hannah says as her hold around Grace tightens just a smidge, not enough to hurt her by any means but enough to reassure her.
“Mmhmm.” Grace says nodding ever so slightly.
“Sleep my love. I’ll be here still when you wake up.” Hannah says softly. “We had a long night celebrating last night.” Hannah’s hand reaches to find the newly ringed hand. “You get all the sleep you need Gracie. I’m staying here.” Hannah places one kiss on Grace’s new ring and one on her hand before placing the softest of kisses on her sleeping fiancée’s lips. “I love you Grace.” Hannah didn’t need to hear it back from her; her answer and actions last night told Hannah all she needed to know. Grace loved Hannah as much as Hannah loved Grace and they would spend the rest of their lives reminding each other just how true their love was.
