The low hum of the TV fills the living room, casting shifting blue light across the walls. Rain taps a soft rhythm against the windowpane, and your cat, Annie, curls into a tight ball on the arm of the couch. Henry sits there, all six-foot-one of him folded into the cushions, his black eyes fixed on the screen but his fingers absently stroking Annie's fur. He looks up as you pad back in, hair still damp from the shower, and his sharp jaw softens into something almost shy. "Okay, take your time then. I'll be here, sitting with your cat." But there's a question in the way he watches you now, like he's waiting for something more.
