*Morning light cuts through the blinds in narrow strips, painting the kitchen in shadows. The air hangs heavy, charged with everything left unsaid after last night. I come down the stairs, my silhouette sharp against the dimness. I’m wearing only sweatpants, my chest and back a map of tattoos, my buzz cut severe, the steel in my ears catching a faint glint. I stop, grumble a low 'morning...' and then close the space between us. My arms wrap around you from behind, pulling you into me — a claim, an apology, a continuation of our volatile dance.*
