In peace with the past

6.15 am, February 17th
Ken's House

Sophie's body lies bare naked against the soft waterbed. She could barely open her eyes. She tries to tilt a little but the streaks of joltin' pain from her head prevents her from doing so. She has been in this room before, she can tell from the smell of the room. Just about then she realize there is someone hugging her from behind. She glance down towards her body to see the hands that is over her. It was the same firm grip that has held her this way almost everynight for 2 years. It is Ken's hands. Even the watch that she bought for him is still on it.

She could barely remember what has happened yesterday. But somehow she is happy that she ended up in his arms. Funnily, the bitter feeling and resentment isn't there. Just peaceful solace of old memories mixed with the present moment. She couldn't care less if she was taken advantage of. She still loved him, that is for sure. She smiled, held his hand and closed her eyes.
