The Spirit Of Luce - Part 2 free porn video

After watching the van drive off, Kathy stood there, wondering what had just happened. She walked slowly back to her room and changed into her swimsuit and a sarong . She grabbed a hat and put it on, then threw her tablet, sunglasses and sunscreen into a beach bag and headed to the dining room for some breakfast. She thought how different this breakfast was going to be, compared to all the others they had eaten together. As she ate, she could still taste Cindy on her lips.

When she was done, she headed for the beach to stake a claim on a lounge chair and read a bit. She found an empty chair and spread out the towel that was lying on it. After applying her sunscreen, she pulled out her tablet, but soon drifted off to sleep and began to dream.

Kathy was lying naked on a blanket in a secluded cove. As she looked around, she saw it wasn’t the resort, but a beach where her parents used to rent a house for a week or two some summers. Luce had often joined them there so she would have a friend to keep her company. Kathy looked at her naked body and saw she was a teen again. She heard laughing and looked around, spotting her friend wading in the water naked and calling to her to come in. Although Kathy had never been skinny-dipping in her life, she jumped up and joined her friend in the water. They started splashing each other and laughing.

Luce began swimming out in the water and Kathy followed. About a hundred or so yards out, they hit a sandbar where the water was only a few inches deep in places, but no more than a foot. When Kathy reached the sandbar, the first thing she noticed was that Luce had a large red scar on her chest. She reached out to touch it, and Luce took her hand and held it there. She reached down and took Kathy’s other hand and placed it on her left breast, holding that hand in place as well. They stood there just looking at one another as Kathy’s pulse got faster and faster.

Suddenly the scene changed and Kathy was standing in the water by herself. She realized that she was back on the beach at the resort and must have gotten up and walked into the water. When she looked around, she was at least a hundred yards from her lounge chair. She walked back to the chair, picked up her belongings and headed back to her room. She decided she was clearly tired from having been up all night and felt she would be safer in her room. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow and when she woke up, it was early afternoon.

Kathy found she was very hungry, so jumped into the shower to rinse off, then put on a light sundress and went down to one of the restaurants to grab a bite to eat. When she was done, she grabbed a shuttle into the nearby town to pick up a few souvenirs for some friends and members of her family. After shopping for a couple of hours and collecting several bags of items, she grabbed a cab back to the resort. She stowed the items back in her room, then went to the health club and worked out for about an hour, then finished up with a long hard swim in the pool.

When she got back to her room, she looked at her mobile phone and realized she had missed a call. It was Cindy saying she had arrived safely at home and just wanted to say what a great time she had. Cindy also said how glad she was they had met and hoped they could stay in touch. Kathy started to call her back, but realized that it was already after 10:00 pm there, so decided to wait until the next day to return the call.

Kathy showered and changed for dinner. By the time she got down to the restaurant she wanted to eat at, it was quite full and there were no single tables left. They asked if she would mind sitting at a table with a number of others, otherwise it would be about a forty five minute wait. Kathy agreed, since she wasn’t sure how she would feel eating alone after eating meals with Cindy this whole time.

She was seated at a table with two couples and a single man, ending up in the chair right next to him. He immediately engaged her in conversation, and was quite charming. They hit it off, and after dinner, went to the bar, had another drink and started making out. They soon found themselves on the way to Kathy’s room, where they continued kissing and touching each other. Kathy could feel his arousal, but suddenly did not feel like having sex with him. She unzipped his pants and pulled out his cock, giving him a very enthusiastic blowjob. It was not long before he came, and when he was through, told Kathy it was her turn. She made some excuses saying the drinks had really hit her and that she was really sleepy.

After managing to get him out of the room, Kathy sat in the dark and wondered what had happened to her. In the past she would have fucked the hell out of a man like that and enjoyed the experience completely. But tonight, when it came right down to it, she did not even want him to touch her. She had only sucked him off because she felt she had led him on, and she at least owed him that. However, where she normally would have enjoyed doing that, then getting him hard again, tonight she had felt the need to rinse her mouth afterward.

Kathy stretched out on the bed, still in her clothes and fell into a deep sleep. She dreamt about Luce and their childhood adventures; she dreamt about Cindy and their time at the resort and the images and memories jumbled and mixed together. It was Cindy and her out on the sandbar; it was Luce that had kissed her as she left for the airport. But the more she dreamt, the more it was about Cindy. She felt that one kiss over and over again. By the time she woke in the morning, she was covered in sweat, and the bed was in total; disarray.

She felt a need to be distracted today, and get her mind off everything that had happened. Before heading down to breakfast, Kathy looked at the available activities that day. A canyon nearby had donkey rides to the bottom that left in about forty five minutes. Kathy called the concierge to see if a spot was open and was told there were several. He asked her if she wished to book two spots for her and her friend. She told him that her friend had left and she would just be needing the one spot. She had just enough time to grab a quick shower and some food from the snack bar before the bus left. The donkey ride would take the better part of the day, and there was a snack provided at the bottom for lunch.

The return to the resort was in time for a dinner show, so Kathy called the concierge on the way to the canyon, and booked a seat for that as well. During the ride to the canyon, several men in the van tried to engage her in conversation, but she deflected all their attempts. She took a number of pictures from the window of the van, as well as numerous shots on the ride to the bottom of the canyon. Lunch was served under a canopy that provided some shade from the relentless glare of the sun and was surprisingly good, with lots of fresh fruit and cool drinks. By the time they got back to the resort, Kathy realized she had not thought about Cindy or Luce all day.

The dinner show was a pleasant little musical that fortunately kept the conversation at a minimum as she had once again been seated at a table with others. At least this time, there were no single men, just an older couple and the wife’s widowed sister. When the show ended, Kathy ordered a drink, and took it back to her room. Her flight was leaving mid-afternoon the next day, so Kathy decided to pack tonight. That would leave her free to spend several hours enjoying the beach one last time. As she pulled out her suitcase, she realized she had forgotten to return Cindy’s call, so made a note to call her first thing in the morning. She laid out clothes to wear on the plane plus her swimsuit and items she would need for the beach, plus left out her toiletries, packing everything else, then went to bed.

When she woke in the morning, Kathy felt refreshed and hungry. She showered, dressed and went down for breakfast after trying to reach Cindy and just getting her voice mail. After eating, she walked down to the beach and finally found an open chair. She applied some sunscreen, then headed for the water, where she swam out a bit, then swam parallel to the beach for about a half mile and back. When she got back to her chair, she adjusted the umbrella and read a bit from her tablet before setting it down and drifting off to sleep.

She awoke when one of the hotels workers was adjusting the umbrella to compensate for the movement of the sun. He apologized for waking her and asked if she needed something to drink. Kathy ordered a large fruity drink and a bottle of water. When the waiter returned, she downed the bottle of water, then took the drink and walked along the shore as she sipped it down. After finishing the fruit, and leaving the empty glass with another waiter, Kathy went back into the water and took another long swim. When she finally got back to the hotel, she showered and changed into her travel clothes, then finished packing. She took her bags down to the lobby, leaving them in the security room while she had some lunch.

When she was done, she checked out and waited on the veranda for the shuttle that would take her back to the airport. While she waited, she called Cindy again, leaving a message when she just got voice mail again. Kathy soon found herself on a plane headed back home. It was evening when the cab deposited her at her door. Her friend had picked up her mail and brought back her two cats earlier that day, as well as leaving her a small salad and a meal she merely had to zap in the microwave for dinner.

The cats greeted her with complaints about her being gone and demanded her attention while she was eating. Kathy gave each a small nibble of meat from her plate, then finished up and washed the dishes, before unpacking her suitcase. She hung up her suit to dry and threw the dirty clothes in the hamper. After listening to her messages, she looked through her mail, sorting out the junk mail from the bills and other things. Finally, she changed into her bedclothes and went to bed. She watched the stars for awhile before drifting off to sleep.

That night as she slept, Luce appeared to her.

“You know now, don’t you my dear Kit? You have everything you need to understand. All your questions have been answered; just listen to your heart. I have waited and watched you for many years, just waiting till the time was right. I can rest now, but know I will always be with you. Be well, my love, and enjoy the life you were meant to live.”

Kathy awoke to the ringing of her mobile phone. She grabbed it, hoping it was Cindy calling, but it was one of her clients calling on her business line. She cleared her head and answered, setting up a phone conference later that day to discuss a project. After she hung up, she got out of bed and threw on a robe, started a pot of coffee and fed the cats. She went back through her messages again, returning several other calls from clients, then opened up the mail she had set aside. After paying a few bills and having some breakfast, Kathy showered and dressed, then headed out to the grocery store.

On the way home, she stopped at the office/conference center where small business people or those working from home could make and receive video calls or rent a conference room. She arrived in time to take the call from her client, and got the specs for the work he wanted done. Kathy promised to review the details and put together a timeline and cost projection and get back to him in three days. She had gotten several offers of other projects, and she had to look to see how she could work them all into a doable time frame. Most were fairly quick jobs that would not take her long, but there was one other longer term project besides the client she had just spoken to.

When she got home, she put away her groceries, then tried calling Cindy again. After four rings, she picked up. Kathy felt a tingle when Cindy said hi. They chatted on the phone for awhile, promising to exchange photos and talking about the trip. They talked for an hour before Kathy finally said she needed to do some estimates and planning, but promised to stay in touch. Cindy said she was trying to catch up as well because one of her production assistants was having a difficult pregnancy and needed to be temporarily replaced, so she was sorting through resumes.

For the next two weeks, Kathy was quite busy, completing two smaller projects, getting started on three others, including one very large project she had estimated would take three months to finish. The time had flown by so quickly, she barely realized that she had not sent the pics she had taken to Cindy yet, or called her to talk. As soon as she was done with the work she had scheduled for the day, she downloaded her photos and sorted through them, deleting a number of them that either were not good shots, or picking out the best of several taken of the same scene.

Each time she ran across one someone had taken of the two of them, it brought back memories of the day and place. She finally got through all the photos and added them to a zip file, then sent them on to Cindy. In the email, she said again how much she had enjoyed meeting her and told her she had touched base with Luce’s mom. They had talked about Luce and Kathy had asked her if they had donated her organs after the accident. Her mom confirmed they had indeed donated what they could and that a least a dozen people had received something. Her heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and corneas as well as skin, bone and arterial tissue had been taken for transplants.

When Kathy asked if she knew who had gotten any of the organs, Cindy’s mom said they had never wanted to know the names, only that the organs had gone to save lives. She also said that while several of the organs were transplanted locally, she knew the heart had gone to a teenage girl who lived quite a distance away and had been near death. The liver had been split and given to two men and an older woman; skin grafts had gone to a fire fighter that had gotten caught in a burning building and had suffered severe burns on parts of her body.

Kathy said she was more certain than ever that Cindy did indeed have Luce’s heart, and maybe someday when she came to visit, she could meet Luce’s parents. As she sent off the email, it occurred to her they had not really discussed if or when they might actually get together again, just the vague things people often say to each other under those circumstances… we’ll stay in touch, we’ll have to get together sometime, and so forth. Most of the time, it never happened.

A few days later, Kathy got an email with a file containing the pictures Cindy had taken. She said she had also talked to her mom about the transplant, and her mom confirmed that the donor’s name was Lucy and she was from the same area where Kathy had lived as a child, though they didn’t know the last name, as the girl’s parents had requested it not be given out. So based on that, she agreed that it probably was her friend’s heart. Cindy said she had kind of mixed feeling about that knowing someone that knew her. But she said she would consider meeting with her parents, if they agreed.

Over the next few months, they exchanged occasional emails, and talked on the phone once a week. Kathy found herself quite busy, taking on several additional projects that had her working six or seven days a week just to keep up. But as the work was cyclical, she took what she could when it came her way. .During that time, Kathy had had very little desire to be with a man. She had tried once or twice with a few men she knew, but finally just gave up. Cindy was on her mind constantly, though she wasn’t sure just what her feeling towards Cindy were. Finally, she had a bit of a break in work, and there was a holiday coming up. The next time Kathy and Cindy spoke, Kathy brought up the long weekend.

“I was wondering if you might want to meet somewhere in the middle, or one of us coming to the other?”

“I was thinking the same thing. I know you have been terribly busy, and I have been pretty busy as well with the new assistant that had to be trained. I sure could use a spa weekend, and I bet you could as well.”

“A spa weekend sounds great. You have a place in mind?”

They discussed a few places and looked at them together online. They finally decided on one that looked really nice and Cindy brought up sleeping arrangements.

“So, one room or two? Personally, I think two rooms is silly, but I will leave it up to you.”

“Oh, I think we can manage with one room. Even if we each had our own, we’d just end up spending most of the time in just one room anyway.”

Kathy went ahead and booked a room right away, and they spent an hour discussing the meeting. It was closer to Cindy, so Kathy would fly to a nearby airport that was on Cindy’s way to the resort. They would time it so Cindy could pick Kathy up as she drove to the spa. In order to get a bit of extra time together, both women decided to leave work a bit early on Thursday and take Friday off, giving themselves nearly four full days to relax. They booked several massages, some time in the hot springs bathhouse and a couple of yoga sessions. There were several different areas where they could take nature hikes, so both were bringing their hiking shoes and cameras.

Before they knew it, Kathy was on a plane for the three hour flight. Cindy had packed her bags and put them in the car the night before, so she could leave directly from work and get to the airport in time to pick Kathy up. From there, they had about another hour drive to reach the spa. On the plane, Kathy found herself becoming quite nervous about seeing Cindy again. Since she had come back from vacation, she had gradually found herself looking more and more at woman, appreciating their beauty, and wondering what it would be like to be with one. At the same time, her attraction and desire for men had nearly disappeared.

Most of all, Kathy wondered about Cindy. She thought about the dreams, about what she had felt and about what Luce had come to her and told her. She had been right. She finally knew and understood what the spirit had been telling her; what her heart was now telling her. She could only hope that what she now felt was her destiny, would also be felt by Cindy. Whatever the outcome, she would soon find out.

When the plane landed, Kathy called Cindy to let her know she had landed and find out where she was. Cindy said she had arrived at the airport just a bit ago, and was parking her car. She would be waiting for Kathy at the arrival area. To Kathy, it seemed like it was taking forever for the plane to get to the gate and for the doors to open. Finally, the people began departing the plane. She grabbed her bag from the overhead bin and walked off the plane, heading for the baggage claim and arrival area.

As Kathy was moving down the escalator, she spotted Cindy standing there and waving at her. She walked down the remaining stairs, ran up to her and dropped her bag. They hugged and jumped up and down, twisting around in circles. Suddenly Cindy grabbed Kathy’s face with her hands and pressed their lips together, kissing her hard. Kathy felt herself responding and kissing her back, her body tingling.

“I’ve wanted to do that again since I kissed you goodbye at the resort. I am not disappointed, and I hope you are not freaked out or too put off by it.”

Kathy just looked at her, then kissed her back.

“Does that answer your question?”

The two women smiled at each other. They both seemed to think the same thing and looked around the area. Spotting a family bathroom, they headed towards it, going inside and locking the door. Cindy pushed Kathy up against the wall and pulled up her shirt and bra. She quickly took one nipple into her mouth and began sucking on it while massaging it with her hand. Kathy moaned. When Cindy unzipped Kathy’s pants and slid her free hand inside, Kathy’s whole body shivered. Cindy inserted two fingers in Kathy’s pussy, fucking it and bit down gently on her nipple as she sucked and licked the tip. Within a minute, Kathy felt the familiar feeling rise inside her and soon her body was racked by an intense orgasm. Her legs got so weak, she almost sank to the floor.

“FUCK! So that’s what I’ve been missing?”

They both laughed and Kathy got herself together. They left the room, hoping no one had heard the moans and guessed what was happening. Cindy led Kathy to the car and stowed the bags next to hers. They got into the car and exchanged another deep kiss; this time swirling their tongues together.

“This is going to be an interesting weekend.”

As Cindy started the car and began driving off, Kathy laughed, then blushed.

“I hope by the end of the weekend, you still feel that way, and that I can do to you what you just did to me.”

Cindy stopped driving and looked deep into Kathy’s eyes.

“I know that this is all new to you, and that you are still unsure of a lot of things. Please don’t worry. I will guide you and help you. One way or another, you will know by the end of this holiday. Now, shall we get on our way and let the fun begin?”

They arrived at the spa about fifty five minutes later and after checking in, realized it was already mid evening, and neither of them had eaten since lunch. They left the bags in their room and headed to the restaurant where they both ordered different specials and split a bottle of wine. They grabbed a couple of desserts for “later” and headed back to the room. After unpacking and putting the desserts and some wine in the mini fridge, they sat down together on the bed. They looked over the list of the activities and amenities available, as well as a schedule of the ones they had already booked that had been given to them at check-in.

After looking it over, Cindy gently pulled it from Kathy’s had and set it aside. She stood up and removed her clothing, then leaned in and kissed Kathy’s lips softly. She took her hand and pulled her from the bed, slowly removing her clothing as well. As she unbuttoned her blouse, and removed her bra, Cindy rubbed her hands up and down Kathy’s arms and back. When the bra fell to the floor, Cindy kissed each breast and teased each nipple with her tongue. She lowered her body, kissing her way down, undoing Kathy’s slacks and pulling them off. Finally, she tucked her hands into the waistband of Kathy’s panties and slid them off as well.

Cindy pushed Kathy down onto the bed and moved in between her legs, placing one over each shoulder. Her lips eagerly sought and found Kathy’s already throbbing clit and pulled it deep inside her mouth. Kathy’s entire body jerked as though it had been hit with an electric current. Cindy continued teasing and licking the clit until she felt Kathy’s body tense and her hips raise off the bed. As the orgasm hit, Cindy plunged two fingers into Kathy’s dripping pussy, twisting them down deep inside, then curling them as they withdrew; repeating the movements over and over

Kathy’s hands gripped the bed, and she moaned loudly as she was hit with another intense explosion like nothing she had ever experienced. Tremors racked through her body as her muscles gripped Cindy’s fingers. Her hips bucked and pushed into Cindy’s mouth. Cindy continued using her fingers to explore Kathy’s vagina, pressing against her cervix and stimulating her g-spot. When Cindy felt yet another orgasm was about to hit, she withdrew her hand as Kathy’s juices squirted out.

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry. That’s never happened before.”

Cindy just laughed and moved up onto the bed next to Kathy.

“Sweetie, that was exactly what was supposed to happen. And that was lesson number one.”

They lay there next to one another until Kathy’s heartbeat and breathing finally returned to normal. Cindy kept caressing Kathy’s body with soft gentle strokes. She brushed Kathy’s hair back and kissed her forehead, then her nose, then finally, her lips.

“That was absolutely amazing! I’ve had some pretty damned good sex in my life, but nothing has ever come even close to that.”

“That’s because a woman knows what a woman wants much better than a man. We know a woman’s body and know just what they are feeling, because we have felt it ourselves. I am glad that you enjoyed it, and think you will enjoy everything else that will happen as well. You know, I was hoping this would happen, but just still wasn’t sure how you would react. Despite the dreams you had been having, and then finding out about my heart, I just didn’t know if you were ready to give this a try. But I knew I had to make the attempt, and figured that after what happened at the airport, I would just go for it right away.”

“Well, I’m glad you did. I have to confess that I have been thinking about the kiss you gave me when you left the resort; then when you agreed to this holiday, wondered what would happen. I secretly hoped you would do something, because I am not sure I would have had the courage to make the first move. And while what we just did was amazing, I worry that I will not be able to reciprocate, or that I will be so bad at it, you will never want to see me again.”

“I promise that won’t happen. I just have a feeling that you will know just what to do, and I will be there guiding and teaching you wherever you might need it. So please, don’t worry about anything, don’t be embarrassed or feel bad if you aren’t perfect. After all, that will give us more excuses to practice.”

Kathy leaned in and kissed Cindy hard on the mouth; pressing her tongue against them. Cindy opened her lips and sucked it in, swirling her tongue with Kathy’s. Kathy found her hands moving up and down Cindy, working closer and closer to her breasts. When her hands found them, they squeezed and massaged them. Her fingers found Cindy’s nipples and began rolling them, pinching them. Cindy gasped and moaned in response. Kathy moved her head lower, kissing her neck and shoulders, then moving down to her breasts. She took the left one into her mouth and sucked hard.

A shiver went through Kathy’s body at her first taste of a woman’s breast; her body tingled. She sucked harder and grasped the nipple in her teeth, pulling and stretching it. She knew just how Cindy was feeling as she imagined the same thing being done to her. She squeezed and massaged the breast, forcing milk to the nipple, then tasting the sweet nectar. Her mouth moved to Cindy’s other breast and did the same thing to it. She heard the moans and felt Cindy’s heart beating faster.

Kathy felt Cindy’s hands on her head, pushing it down. Kathy found herself kissing her way down Cindy’s body to her mound. Her fingers found the hood covering Cindy’s clit and pulled it aside, licking and teasing the tip. She felt Cindy responding and increased her pace. Cindy’s hands were entwined in her hair, guiding her. She took the clit into her teeth and nipped at it gently, then returned to licking it. It wasn’t long before she heard Cindy gasping and felt her body tense at the impending orgasm. Kathy kept her mouth in place as Cindy’s hips bucked and her body jerked through the orgasm.

Finally, Cindy’s body began to relax and Kathy stopped what she was doing.

“Are you sure you never did that before? Cause if you haven’t, then you are a natural.”

“First time… I swear. But you are going to have to show me that trick you did to me.”

I hope to be able to show you quite a bit, but something tells me that you are not going to need nearly as much help as you think you do. Tell me what you were thinking when you did that to me.”

“Well, in a way, at first, I was trying to do what you did to me, but then I imagined when a guy was licking me and he was just a little off, or his pace wasn’t matching mine. I would try to make subtle movements to correct his position or change his pace, but usually, unless I actually said something or physically directed him, he didn’t change what he was doing. There were a few guys that eventually learned, but most never did. What I realized as I was licking was that you were giving off those same subtle movements. I could feel the change in your reactions when I adjusted what I was doing.”

“That is exactly right. I could feel you responding to me; getting in sync with me. A man can never experience a female orgasm, so can never fully understand what we desire. I have has some of my gay friends tell me the same thing about giving a guy a blow job. While a lot of women are proficient in doing that, and we all know men are easier to excite, the gay men say that a man is much better because they know what it feels like.”

Both women laughed and hugged each other. They got the two desserts from the fridge and opened a bottle of wine. After eating the desserts, occasionally feeding a taste of one to the other, and finishing the bottle of wine, they curled up in one of the two queen beds, spooned together, pulled up the sheet and fell asleep. When they woke up in the morning, they were still curled up, Cindy’s arm over Kathy’s shoulder. As they stirred, Kathy turned around and kissed Cindy, running her hand up and down Cindy’s back.

“Mmmmmm. You feel wonderful.”

“So do you. But I sure am hungry. Why don’t we grab a shower and head down for some breakfast?”

The two women got up and jumped into the shower where Cindy gave Kathy a lesson in shower sex. After they dried off, they dressed and went down for breakfast, then took a short hike. They were signed up for a yoga class and later, a massage. They held hands when they walked, touched and kissed when they could. They ate, drank wine and giggled a lot. Cindy used some of the toys she had brought along, introducing Kathy to many new experiences. Kathy learned her lessons well and returned the pleasure she received. All to soon it was time to leave.

“Here we are again, having to leave each other. Only this time it is a little different, isn’t it? Things for you have taken a pretty big turn. You have a whole world of new experiences waiting for you to discover.”

“Yes, it appears I do. I wish we were closer to each other though, so I could discover them with you.”

“Well, we are just a plane ride away from each other, and we can talk on the phone all the time. But you are going to want to date and meet new women. Explore; find someone. I am just your first experience; you will want to have more.”

“Well, I sure want to stay in touch with you and see you again. And I don’t want to be too long before we meet again.

It was finally time to go and they got on the road. Cindy dropped Kathy off at the airport and drove the rest of the way home. Over the next eight months, they talked all the time, and got together three more times. Kathy also started dating a few women, but only one lasted more than a month. On one trip to Kathy’s, Cindy met Luce’s mom and dad. It was very tearful, but it was tears of happiness for everyone.

The more they talked and got together, the more Kathy felt Cindy was the one for her, and finally told her that.

“You know I have fallen in love with you, and I want us to be together every day for the rest of my life.”

“I have been waiting to hear those words from you for awhile now. I fell in love with you a long time ago, when we were at the spa, maybe even before that. But I had to give you the chance to be sure; to find out for yourself. You needed time to explore this new side of you. I always hoped you would decide it was me, but I knew I couldn’t push you into that. And I have to tell you something. There is another station that has been trying to recruit me for some time now. They are about 100 miles from where you live now, but they are closer to two of your big clients you have told me about. They called me again recently, and I almost said yes right then and there. I only need the word from you and I will accept the job. I love you so much and want to be with you forever too.”

Two months later, Kathy and Cindy moved in together in the house they bought. In the bedroom was a skylight they often watched the stars through before falling asleep wrapped up in a blanket and in each other’s arms.
