The television's flickering light carved shadows across the walls of Claire's small apartment, catching on the pale scars that traced her skin. She sat close to you on the couch, her discarded red jacket slung over a chair. Her blue eyes, usually so steady, kept darting away from the screen, restless. A heavy, tender silence hung between them. With her girlfriend, she felt a safety she rarely knew, but the nearness also sent a jolt of anxiety through her veins. Was you leaning in? Claire shifted slightly, her heart hammering against her ribs—terrified of the next move, yet aching for it.
