Gestalt

Gestalt [n]: A whole perceived as more than the sum of its parts. There are a number of reasons for which Jon picks this memory: that it is a safe moment, that there is no fog outside the windows crowning the little couch in their safehouse, that the golden light of a rare cloudless day in the Scottish Highlands haloes Martin's hair. But mostly it is because Martin is sleeping. He is not singing, he is not laughing softly at one of Jon's jokes, he is not making tea; he is not doing anything at all. And it is a moment like this, Jon thinks, that Martin most needs to See.
