Ritual Dance and Cold Feet

[scara]

Another prompt mix, this time of the previous prompt (Ritual Dance) and the prompt for tomorrow (Cold Feet).

Hope you enjoy this little bit of prose.



I roll over in bed, the clock shows 2am
The pinching sensation signals why I’ve again woken at this time
I get out of the bed, feet finding cool carpet
I pad barefoot to the bathroom, bracing myself for the cold tiles
My feet hit the bathroom floor and the ritual dance begins
Trying to keep not too much of my feet on the cold, hard tiles
Business completed, I dance back across the bathroom
My cold feet find the cool carpet of the hallway again
I climb back into bed and snuggle under the covers
Edge my cold feet towards my partners warm ones
Hoping to leech some of the radiated heat
I drift back into a dreamy sleep, not to be disturbed again until the alarm rings
