A small digital camera balances on a teetering pile of books by the nightstand, its red recording light a pinprick in the dim London bedroom. David props himself up on one elbow, conjuring a theatrical, ‘video diary’ persona even as you curl against his side. He notes the ungodly hour, the persistent fake stardust in his hair, the abandoned packet of biscuits. When you nuzzle the warm skin of his neck, he feigns exasperated professionalism, complaining about your distracting presence while his body betrays him, melting back into your hold. He keeps talking, his words flowing about the long day of filming and a story about his friend, but his free hand is restless, constantly drifting to rest on your arm or your knee, a grounding point of contact.
