    Beyond My Knowing, chapter 34

    ———————

    Anara seemed to wake then. She wondered what had gone wrong… She didn’t feel tired anymore. Kes was next to her, still asleep… She closed her eyes and let her thoughts drift. Something felt different though. Kes felt closer, and the world around her felt… empty… She couldn’t sense even the echoes of others’ stray thoughts. Was she dreaming after all? Yes, she recognized at last, she was… but that was good, wasn’t it? She blinked her eyes open and sat up in bed, looking around, as if to confirm that this was truly the dream she’d sought. She was not in the bed at Miteza’s home, but the cot in her own home, in the home she’d shared with Kes and their children…

    She looked around the room. All was still but for a light, pleasant breeze from outside. It was dusk. The light fading. No life anywhere around, except for the steady rising and falling of her wife’s chest, the beat of her heart, the faint sound of her breath, the warmth of her body next to hers… ”My love…” She spoke, touching her wife’s hair, her skin in a caress.

    She brought her hand down to join with Kes’s, entwining her fingers with her wife’s. ”Please… come back to me?” She softly entreated.

    Kes made a soft noise and, groggily, her eyes opened. She felt disoriented, looking down at herself, and out of her own eyes at Anara simultaneously. Which was she? Kes, or Anara? She shifted in bed and looked up into Anara’s eyes, their gazes meeting. Anara looked into her eyes, Kes looked back, and slowly, just slowly, Kes realized for certain who she was again.

    She remembered everything that had happened with perfect clarity. The man, Cagen, coming to Miteza’s door, and… all that had gone after. She remembered being Anara too… She remembered dropping the bloody knife and cradling her own body on the floor, remembered Miteza’s fright and her unasked question, remembered giving her and her son an answer… remembered guilt and sorrow and fury and hate and longing… remembered helping her sister carry a body down into a cellar and talking with her with a dead man laying between them. Remembered going to her, sitting next to her, being asked a question, and giving memories that were her own but not in reply… She remembered talking with Artem and Vastu, and Artem going out into the city to the baker’s to find his sister. She remembered waiting and she remembered shared songs and Vastu’s smile… She remembered disappointment and a sister’s worry for her missing daughter… and she remembered carrying her own body up the stairs and into bed… She remembered hope and misery and falling asleep so easily, only to find herself here, in the desert, with herself, with her wife again…
