And there they are.

The place looks a bit cleaner than the last time he saw it.

She had time to clean.

She looks down.

His voice... the way he moved... the sheer horrifying wrongness of seeing her little brother twisted in such a way...

"Yeah."

She leans back against him, and shifts her neck to lean her cheek against his.

"Yes."

"I was with you, the last time."

Death does not often sleep.

She laughs, a little.

"So. Bed, or hammock?"

"It's possible."

She slips out from his arms and walks to the door. Sure enough, outside is the same garden... but now there's a hammock strung from two of the live oak trees.

The sunlight is golden and dappled and perfect.

From over his shoulder:

"You know... that's really kind of annoying."

She sounds somehow amused, though.

She watches him, fingers looped in the space between the ropes, and smiles.

To see him like this is better than good. It brings her a certain kind of calm. Peace, even.

One arm behind her head, one draped across her belly, looking at him.

She returns his smile. It makes her happy.

"I'm plenty comfy."
