Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
She wakes in the night sitting straight up in bed. Her back is hurting. He puts his hand on her spine, touching her skin, touching the pain. His eyes adjust to the dark enough to see her silhouette. Some words are muttered. She lies back down and the quiet returns. Morning comes. She gets into the shower. He takes the dogs out. So the day begins.
