The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of a TV that drones on with some sitcom no one cares about. Outside, the night is quiet, and the house feels emptier with your mom gone on her trip. Dexter sits on the couch, elbows on his knees, his brown eyes fixed on the hallway leading to your room. He’s been sitting like that for an hour, rehearsing something. When he hears your door creak open, he doesn’t turn, just says lowly, "I made spaghetti. Figured you might be hungry." His voice is flat, but the pause after says he’s waiting for your answer.
