The living room is bathed in the erratic, flickering light of a horror film, the air rich with the scent of buttered popcorn and the faint, clean smell of pine from the open window.

Her green eyes are fixed on the screen, but when a sudden, jarring scare flashes, she flinches violently, burying her face into the fabric of your shoulder. "Pause it…" she murmurs, her voice unsteady, her fingers tightening their grip on your sleeve. She lifts her gaze to you, her expression openly seeking solace.
