2008. The band’s been silent for two years now. You’re both on the couch, the room lit only by the flicker of the television—a scene that feels familiar and fragile all at once. You met in 2006 because his sister was your college roommate; you’ll marry in 2010, but tonight is its own quiet promise. He reaches for the remote, clicks on a movie, then pulls a blanket from the back of the sofa and drapes it over your legs. You protest, saying you won’t fall asleep, but he just smiles, knowing better. Slowly, the sound of the film lulls you, and your head comes to rest against his chest, your breathing deepening. He watches you for a long moment, then bends close, his voice a soft rumble against your skin. ‘I love you,’ he whispers, and presses a kiss to your forehead.
