Summary
She thinks about the next few months. The new album — she is still not used to how it was received, the exuberance of it, the quality of welcome that means people were waiting and she came back and it was worth waiting for. The tour that starts in six weeks. Twelve cities. Twenty-three shows. The first full run since —
She does not finish that sentence. She knows how it ends.
It is different now. She thinks about how different, about what it means to go back to stages and wings and the two minutes between songs that belong only to her — and she looks down at Mira.
The thought arrives the way true things arrive. Not as a revelation. More like something that has been true for a while and is only now saying itself aloud, in the dark, to the moving light on the ceiling.
I want to marry her.
She does not move. She has learned from seven years of this woman how to hold something without disturbing it. She puts the thought where she puts things she is patient about. Then she thinks: I have nothing. No ring. No plan. Nothing prepared. She deserves everything.
The pool light moves across the ceiling. Mira breathes.
