. But my circuit breakers need time." Okay, hon. Okay. C'mon. Let's get to sleep."With another fit of yawning, we shut the lights and groaned our way ...into bed, lying uncovered and facing each other in the dim wash of early daylight that filtered through the curtained window.We lay on our sides, facing each other in the dark. I closed my eyes. From the window behind me, the city stirred faintly. It was an unfamiliar sound, one I'd never heard when falling asleep in Memphis -- a vague, distant.
