“I thought I could never let go.” 

“I didn't want you to.  I wanted you to hold me forever.”  Her voice
trailed away, and he kissed her neck before taking up the story.  The 
candles continued to burn as the wind and snow blew outside. 

“I held you in my arms at last,” he said, squeezing her a little.  “You
smelled so good.  I was so perfectly happy, holding you.  Your cheek 
was against mine, your breasts against my chest.  You pulled back 
slightly and our eyes met again.  I was lost in the shining light of 
your eyes but you spoke to me... your voice touching my ear for the 
first time without aid of telephone or speaker.  ‘Hello, Alan,' you 
said, and your beautiful lips curled into a smile.  And it was all I 
could do to choke out ‘Hello, Sarah,' before I leaned forward and 
covered your mouth with mine.  I felt you sigh as our breath mingled, 
and all I could think, was how I could possibly be happier than I'd 
been only a moment before.  You tasted like tea and mint, smelled of 
sweet berries, and felt so soft and warm in my arms.  I wanted that 
moment to last forever, to spend the rest of my life holding you in my 
arms, kissing you.  Loving you.” 

He stopped speaking and listened to her low, even breathing.  The baby's
soft snores were nearly lost in the sounds of the howling wind.  The 
last candle burnt out with a sputter, plunging the room into total 
darkness.  He laid his head on the pillow, holding her tightly, and 
went to sleep.
