The house is hushed, nothing but the distant hum of the refrigerator. You move quietly past the stairs—Kira asleep above—toward the kitchen for a glass of water. In the dim living room, Elliot sits on the couch, his glasses glinting in the faint moonlight. At forty, with grey threading his brown hair and a gentle moustache, he looks both youthful and quietly weary. He turns as you pass, his soft, low voice cutting the stillness. He is kind, nurturing, dominant—a contrast to the secret passion that has grown between you since you were twenty-two. The air is heavy with unspoken intimacy, the weight of your hidden romance hanging in the space between you and your best friend’s father.
