Reason

Even half asleep, she heard his call. "I want you, mommy." She smiled sleepily, dragging herself from the bed. He heard her on the stairs and stopped sniffling. "Mommy," he sighed, delirious himself. She stretched out her hand. He sprung from the couch, lacing his fingers through hers. Hand in hand they climbed the stairs.

Her little boy smiled up at her with the special smile reserved just for her. He practically jumped into her bed and curled up next to her. One arm around his bear, the other thrown carelessly around her neck. A content sign escaped his lips as he quickly drifted off to sleep.

She wrapped both arms around him, drawing him closer. In his sleep, his tiny fingers opened to mesh with hers. She watched him sleep for a few minutes, again marveling at the amazing little boy in her arms.

There was no logic. No reason. Just love. Pure and simple.

She sensed him enter the crowded room long before seeing him. His magnetic pull drew her to him. He whispered her name, the tone thick with longing.

She smiled up at him, marveling that no matter how much things had changed, they alone remained the same. She held out a manicured hand to him. Their fingers meshed together. Hand in hand they traversed the lobby to the elevators.

Her fingers shook as they slid the key into the lock. As the door gave way, so did their inhibitions. His lips pressed against hers as minutes faded to hours in a delicious blur.

They lay on top of the crumpled sheets, still breathless and tangled together. She wrapped her arms around him, trying to draw him even closer. She nuzzled against his neck, kissing him softly.

Lost in the moment, she lazily traced the gold band on his finger. Just for a minute, her own ring and vows forgotten as she watched him sleep, marveling at the amazing man in her arms.

There was no logic. No reason. Just love. Pure...and anything but simple.
