It's snowing again.

She watches in contemplation, her hand on her belly, the future thrumming away like a heartbeat against her breast. Soon she'll have to decide what to say, what to do.

Daintily, she swirls around a mouthful of milk and Pepsi, allowing it to rest on her tongue before it's washed away. The fizz slips away, matching the languid energy of the moment.

His kiss tastes of beer and chocolate chip cookies, and she wraps her arms around his neck.

"Never again, Vernie." He declares. "I ain't going anywhere without you."

"No," She nuzzles his chest. "Without us."

His brow wrinkles. "Us?"
