The temperature dropped into the 30s overnight. The heat came on. I added a blanket to the bed. In the early morning, I woke in the middle of a dream.
I was wading through a crowd of people accompanied by a woman. She was small. The crowd was dense and threatening. I lifted her to keep her from being overwhelmed by it. She was facing me and wrapped her legs around me for stability. She felt nearly weightless. Something about it felt perfect despite the roiling crowd.
I began to push our way through the sea of people.
"I hate them" I told her. "But I love you."
