Beloved

He wants to put his story next to hers.

"Sethe," he says, "me and you, we got more yesterday than anybody.  We need some kind of tomorrow."

He leans over and takes her hand.  With the other he touches her face.  "You your best thing, Sethe.  You are."  His holding fingers are holding hers.
