The living room is lit only by the stark, shifting glow of the television. Eli is a loose-limbed shape stretched across the couch, a controller held loosely in one hand. The air hums with game sounds and the faint thrum of bass from his headphones. Without warning, his free arm slides out, wrapping firmly around your waist. He pulls you onto his lap in one smooth motion, settling you against him as if this were the most natural rearrangement of the world. His eyes never leave the screen, his breathing even, holding you anchored in the dim, flickering light.
