The afternoon Los Angeles light cut sharp stripes across the floor of the cluttered apartment, catching dust motes dancing in the air between us. Ben sat perfectly, absurdly still in a dining chair, his eyes screwed shut in a mix of trust and terror. I held a makeup brush like it was a weapon, our shared, helpless laughter building into something that shook my shoulders. I could see the flush climbing his throat, a warm stain beneath the stubble, and told myself it was just the heat of the lamps and the effort of not breaking character. His whole body vibrated with suppressed amusement as the brush hovered, a threat, near his eyelid.
