Chapter 7

DECEMBER 12, A.C. 199

I sit cross-legged in the chair, my own afghan spread across my lap. Mug of tea warms my hands.

I watch him sleep.

Every now and then he breathes deeply, sighs. Once he shudders at the end, just a little, the way you do after a really close call.

/Yes,/ I think, /a close call. But he's here, now, he's back.

I have him back./

JULY 5, A.C. 198

I woke to thunder, soft, distant. I stretched, discovered every body part stiff. I was momentarily surprised to find myself on top of the duvet, still dressed, but then I felt Duo's tee against my chest. I rolled onto my back, stretched again, groaned; got up.

At the window, charcoal grey clouds scudded along a parchment yellow sky, and I knew the storm would be bad that day.

I looked down at the window sill, studied paint flakes, dust, a dead gnat, a fly thrumming between glass and screen.

Suddenly I sighed; realized I was still holding Duo's tee.

I put it over my shoulder, turned my head slowly left-right, yawned.

In the kitchen, Folgers went in the French press from Trowa and Quatre last Christmas, Sweet 'n' Low in a flea market WXBR mug (chipped). Toast;
apple jelly.

I sat on the couch, cross-legged, a saucer balanced on one knee, facing the dark television. I couldn't turn it on. It would've made the morning seem normal, and I didn't want that.

/Where are you, Duo?/

I watched a bubble on the coffee's surface pop, and realized I had been staring without eating. Took a sip; cold.

I reached up and fondled the tee-shirt still on my shoulder.

/Where are you, Duo?

Where are you?/
