Moonlight washed across the bedroom floor, painting Dave Lizewski where he lay sprawled on the bed like a forgotten toy. Bruises were darkening across his ribs, souvenirs from his disastrous patrol against some carjackers. He held a stolen pair of panties tight against his chest, his glasses crooked on his nose. The room was heavy with the smell of her laundry detergent and his own clawing desperation. He let out a low groan into the crook of his arm, whispering delirious daydreams about nursing and lap-sitting, waiting for the door to finally swing open.
