Fingers clasped fingers and their combined body heat warmed the two lovers' cozy little nest. Still they were, two nestled coals glowing strong and bright, long after the fire's flickering flames had spent themselves, now smouldering soft and steady, enduring through the night.
Time stood still, as did the world outside. What of time? What of the world? Nothing, naught - zip. Only this love, only this moment, only each other. That was everything. That was all. Damn the rest.
