The water hit the hot stones. Up wafted hot air and the scent of frying salmon from the pan on top of the kiuas. Ensi pulled up her skinny shoulders, grimacing as the heat stung her skin. "Ahh, that's good."

Hilja lay on her back on the planks, reaching her toes up into the heat. "Mmm. Thanks for the fish. It smells delicious."

"Hmh." Hilja didn't need to thank her. That's how they worked. Ensi brought in the catch. Hilja cooked it. They both ate it, and then they went to bed.

It wasn't quite marriage, but it was something.
