(some of) the last forty-six hours

tea



taking turns reading (but)
being the one to read the last few chapters aloud (because I am)
completing the circle (and, with the last line read,)
feeling like I've said good-bye to dear friends (though now i am)
feeling content (about a weekend spent just the two of us)
drinking many mugs of tea (and)
eating chocolate (because we were)
fighting off dementors and You-Know-Who (and)
discussing what we thought might happen next (and)
deducing horcruxes and whereabouts and allegiances (and)
eating (because you have to do that along with)
sleeping just enough (and)
taking some time to celebrate bits of real-life excitement (and)
remembering (to find ourselves)
living in the joy (because sometimes we forget)
