"Holding me sweetly
Cozy completely
Sweaty like babies sleepTonight
My darling with you

Tonight
My heart you are stealing
Tonight
Nervous with feelingTonight
Innocent side by side
Tonight
I'm dreaming with you"

- The Dollyrots ("Goodnight Tonight")

High above the glow of New York City, the moon and stars shine down upon them as they dream of their future together. The curtains are tightly drawn closed in vain, in hopes of keeping the city's noise and lights out of their cozy cocoon. In a city that never rests, the two broken and bruised souls lay entangled and intertwined, sleeping soundly and dreaming peacefully in his darkened apartment. Though all too soon, the dawn will break and she will eventually leave. But for now, they are in their private heaven, laying in the comfort and safety of each other's arms.

Her head lies on his bare chest, gently rising and falling with every breath that he takes. She lies on her side, one arm wrapped around his powerful bicep. A single toned and shapely leg effectively pins the lower half of his body to the bed. He shows his claim on her by cupping her pert behind, pulling her closely to him. His other arm rests protectively on her arm that is thrown carelessly but territorially across his sculpted torso. Not that he minds. Her petite body molds perfectly to his, thankfully keeping him warm, since she has stolen all of the covers as usual.

Though there are still some uncertainties, though there are still doubts, there is also hope. And that is enough for now. They know that they are not without fault; that no one is. But together, they are right. Despite all of their differences from opinions to backgrounds, they make sense. They are made for each other. From their antagonizing banter grew a friendship that bloomed into something neither can deny. Love. Though it is something they had not expected when they first met, it is what they have found. It is something neither is going to let slip away again without a fight.
