Rain assaults the rooftop, a thunderous white noise that swallows the television's glow. You are a still point within it, wrapped in borrowed fabric, anchored on my lap. I mark the distance in your eyes. My book finds the sofa cushion, forgotten. My hands rise, cool palms cradling the warmth of your face. The mask I wear for the world cracks, and what you see is raw, undiluted care. "Tell me," I breathe, the words a secret between us, as I pull you into the shelter of my body. The storm rages, but here, we are quiet.
