The cot is barely big enough for Thomas alone but somehow James manages to squeeze in alongside him. Cocooned beneath the rough blanket, they lay with their hearts pressed together. Thomas basks in the tangible lilt of James’ undisputable proximity: James’ chest swells on an inhale – the pulse of a heartbeat – a puff of muggy air ghosts across Thomas’ lips.

“I missed you,” Thomas says, as they map the years spent apart on each other faces, as their trembling fingertips travel across paths paved in unfamiliar scars and new wrinkles. He can read James’ awe in the lines of his expression. He smiles with relief. “I feared you had forgotten me.”

James’ face contorts, he shakes his head so forcefully they almost roll to the floor. “I longed for you with every breath,” he whispers, bringing their forehead together. “I remember everything.” Thomas feels the wet flicker of James’ lashes across his cheekbones, he feels James’ rugged voice warming up his blood, “My truest love.”
