The sweat is rolling off my body. I can't believe she's sleeping already. I look down at her; she's nestled in the crook of my arm, smiling serenely. Her arm lies across my chest limply; she's definitely asleep. Her hair flows down her back like an angel's. I can't believe she's asleep already.

... Actually, I can't believe she's here. She's so... loose, ready for anything, and I'm so... stiff. I'm Core, and she's... perfect. She's an angel. she's a Goddess, she's perfect, she's...

... Mine. And I can't believe it. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I would do anything for her. I would give up anything for her. Well, not that I have anything to give up anymore, after getting River out.

That did even more help than I could have ever thought. I reach down and stroke her hair. It's so soft. Not twenty minutes earlier, it was spilling over her shoulders into my eyes.

A bit of light catches my eye from the inn window. We're planetside, on some backwater planet I've never heard of. Mal suggested we sleep off-ship for a night. It was so weird to sleep where it's actually quiet, instead of the constant hum of the ship.

... Well, it would have been. I haven't slept yet. And judging by the rays of light slowly creeping up our nude bodies, it's sunrise. We'll be lifting off soon. Doesn't matter; we can sleep on the ship.

The light hits Kaylee's eyes, and they flutter open. I hug her tighter, and whisper "No, no, go back to sleep."

"But Simon..." She says, in that pleading voice only she can use, the one that pulls at my heartstrings. "I want to see the sunrise." She sits up, and I do the same. I nibble on her earlobe a bit, which makes her laugh. I hear it tickles, not that I've ever let her get close enough to try it on me. I'm way too ticklish for that.

We sit there together, with her on my lap, and we watch the sun rise together. The moment is perfect. There's no sound but that of our breathing. With a little smile, I whisper into Kaylee's ear. "We'll be on Serenity in no more than an hour... I'd say we're already there."

Serenity's a good word for it.
