There isn't a moment she can point to when she started loving him, but there's a moment she can point to where she started thinking about it.
She woke up one morning -- a day he was off work that morning and she was off work last night, a day they were going to spend together after a night they'd had sex for the first time in two weeks -- and her head was on his chest. His heart was beating against her ear, and his arms were more tangled around her than the blanket, and he was smiling like he was having a good dream, and for the first time she thought that maybe there was something more to this than comfort and loneliness.
Things weren't suddenly passionate, they weren't suddenly attatched at the hip, she didn't start considering making it to have and to hold till death do us part I do -- but she started considering. And that was enough.
