Chapter 33
“All that food has made me sleepy,” Mark said.
“So sleep.”
“I don’t think I could make it upstairs.”
“Sleep here.”
Mark stretched out on the sofa with his head in my lap. He fell asleep with his face pointing towards me. I couldn’t help gazing once again into my boyfriend’s face. He’d had such a troubled past couple of years. It amazed me he was still the kind, sweet and trusting person he was. If I’d gone through what he had, I think I’d have ended up being bitter and cynical.
I gently ran my index finger along the bridge of his nose and traced along the line of his lips. I couldn’t help shedding a silent tear of joy that somehow I’d miraculously captured the heart of this angel.
The ringing of the phone shattered the silence of the room. Mark jerked awake. I was a bit annoyed that the outside world had intruded on our little piece of heaven.
