A Rainy Day

We canceled our plans today,
  choosing instead to dwell inside.
Sitting quietly as we forget the world,
  listening to the sound of rain against the windows.
I steal another look, 
  you smiling as you read your book.
I set mine down, 
  and I kiss the top of your head.
At your shoulder,
  your cat purrs.
As I walk away,
  my dog follows at my heels.
Minutes later when I return,
  I quietly set another cup of coffee beside you.
Without looking up,
  you reach for my hand.
A single squeeze,
  looping a finger around mine.
Our moment.
  Holding it.
And then we both return,
  whisked away to worlds of fantasy.
