We Went to Bed at 9pm

No drama before bed. No unresolved tension humming through the dark. No lying there staring at the ceiling replaying the argument that didn't need to happen. No sleeping on the edge of the mattress like a human parenthesis trying to take up as little space as possible. Just... bed. At 9pm. Together. Maybe a show. Maybe just talking about nothing. Maybe completely comfortable silence with someone who doesn't make silence feel dangerous. That's it. That's the whole thing. And if you've ever been in a relationship where bedtime felt like a minefield you know exactly why this one made the list. Soft. Warm. Calming. The scent of a nervous system that finally gets to rest. Place it in your warmer. Gently. Just like he handles you.
