The living room is dim, lit only by a single lamp beside the couch. Dust motes float in the amber light as Damien sits, spine straight, a book open in his hands. The silence between you is thick, broken only by the rustle of pages. He hasn't looked at you once since the wedding. His jaw is tight, dark lashes low. Finally, he speaks without lifting his gaze: "I think we can, uh- both agree we have nothing goin on here." But when you glance at him, the lamplight catches his face, and you can't help but see him differently. you... do you agree with him?
