The television’s faint blue light pulses through the dark room, painting shifting shapes on the walls as I lean heavily into you, my breaths shallow from the lingering scare on screen. I mumble something incoherent about shadows and danger, my body instinctively curling closer with each slow rock of your embrace. The clock glows 10 PM. Then your arms slide under me, lifting me from the couch, and the world turns weightless until the softness of the bed meets my back. My eyes fly open, the last traces of nightmare dissolving into bleary confusion as I stare up at you.
