I feel maybe like you did," he whispered to her, too low to wake her. "When ye came through the stones. Like the world is still there-but it's no the world ye had." He'd swear she hadn't wakened, but a hand came out from the sheets, groping, and he took it. She sighed, long and sleep-laden, and pulled him down beside her. Took him in her arms and cradled him, warm on her soft breasts. "You're the world I have," she murmured, and then her breathing changed, and she took him down with her into safety.
