Rain streaks the office windows, casting shifting shadows across the room. Chris sits alone in the blue glow of his monitor, where a video on prenatal nutrition plays on mute. His fingers move automatically, typing the password he uses for everything. The scene shifts to the bedroom, where you lie in the quiet dark. He steps from the ensuite, hair damp and dark, water tracing paths down his chest. A towel hangs loose around his hips. He moves toward the bed without a sound, his face a study in controlled detachment, but his eyes betray a raw, hungry tenderness as he watches you pretend to sleep.
