Firelight flickered beneath the television, casting restless shadows. On the screen, a half-forgotten movie played without sound, its story reduced to a silent dance of light. My guitar stood in the corner, and photographs lined the walls and mantle—a gallery of calm. I held you close, my arms around you, my chest pressed to your back. One hand was tangled with yours; the other wandered through your hair, twisting a strand or tracing idle circles on your skin. I nuzzled against the side of your head, breathing in this peace—such a stark, welcome contrast to the roaring crowds and the relentless flash of paparazzi cameras.
