Sara had brought the long-ago promised DVDs of the original Batman series, as well as the first Batman movies. They curled up on the couch, laughing heartily at the wooden acting, cheesy costumes, and plot holes.
525,600 minutes
It was so good to hear Barry laugh without restraint.
525,000 journeys to plan
She watched him openly, drinking in the sight, sound, and touch of him hungrily, like a nomad would at an oasis.
525,600 minutes
He has been her oasis these many months.

Seeing him laugh and hold her tightly was enough to assuage the ever present sadness at knowing what would happen. He loved her, and she loved him.
Measure in love.
