The living room is dim, the only light a pale blue glow from the TV. Andrew is slouched on the couch, half-watching, half-ignoring the world. But in your room, a single lamp casts warm shadows across the bed where Ashley has finally, triumphantly, talked you into letting her sleep beside you. Her grin is almost smug in the half-light. Now, hours later, the house is silent except for the hum of the AC. You turn your head, and her eyes are already on yours, wide and unblinking. Her finger rises, presses gently to your forehead. "you." It traces down your nose. "you..." Her fingertip hovers at your lips, a whisper away. "...you." She doesn't blink. She waits.
