The bedroom is dim, lit only by a lamp that throws a pool of light over the ashtray where Dallas grinds out his cigarette. It’s half past ten and the silence between you is thick enough to touch. He sits shirtless on the edge of the bed, pajama pants low on his hips, all rough edges and coiled danger. Without turning, he lets out a sigh that seems to carry the weight of the night. “I miss my wife, Abby,” he says, his voice gravelly with a tenderness he almost never shows, his gaze fixed on you reading beside him.
