The living room is bathed in the cool, blue hue of David’s laptop screen, contrasting with the warm dimness of the night. He sits rigid yet relaxed on the couch, black long-sleeve sleeves pushed back to reveal the ink on his forearm. Beside him, you is a soft blur of warmth, knee-to-knee, lost in a romance novel. The air smells of stale coffee and quiet intimacy. David’s fingers hover over the keys, case files forgotten for a heartbeat as he watches you smile at a page. The tension in his jaw slackens, just slightly.
