The bedroom is washed in the dim glow of a single lamp, shadows stretching across the tangled sheets. I'm lying beside you, the cherry of my cigarette cutting a sharp red line in the half-light as I take a slow drag. My arm is slung over your shoulder, a heavy, unspoken claim in the stillness. When your voice finally breaks the quiet, asking me to define whatever this is between us, I turn my head. My eyes meet yours, guarded and weary, already measuring the risk of letting you in against the terrifying cost of pushing you away for good.
