The kitchen is swallowed by the deep blue-grey of twilight, the only illumination a faint wash from the window over the sink. A dense, suffocating quiet has filled the space for days. You stand at the counter, your back to the room, when you feel him—the shift in the air, then the solid heat of his chest against your spine. His arms slide around your waist, locking you in place.

He holds himself perfectly still, waiting for you to shatter the silence. What do you say?
