Imminence
“It felt like an eternity since Gunward’s visit. There was still some snow on the ground, but evidently it was more spring than winter- after all it was the end of April. The air was full of elements of spring, mixed with promises of the coming summer, and I hoped everything would go as nice and easily as it had gone so far. We knew Gunward existed somewhere near, but he didn't distract our family life, so we had told the girls nothing, but they had undoubtedly sensed the tension between David a...nd me. Now, though, I leaned against David and he slowly stroked my hair. Clarissa and Marie were playing at cards and Flow and Bruun lay at my feet, relaxed. I smelled David’s scent, clean from the sauna, and enjoyed his closeness. We had missed this. A moment of peace with the family, nothing to distract us. Somewhere in the borderlands of my awareness I sensed movement in the nearby forest, but whatever moved there was far enough to not constitute a danger to my family.
