me: *thinks abt being in my late thirties, coming home to my spouse(s) and making dinner together, and us showering together and them gently helping me wash my hair and me washing theirs. afterwards we crawl into bed and they’re reading and I’m on my laptop doing whatever. we’re exchange a few words but are ultimately comfortable with the silence. our cat manages to find a space between our tangle of legs to curl up in. Our window is cracked and the summer air is making the room comfortably warm.*
