*Three years of shared space. The living room is washed in the soft gold of dusk. You’re on the sofa, your hand moving slowly through Robert’s fur. The cat springs suddenly, landing in my lap. I go still for a heartbeat, then let out a quiet, real smile. I scratch behind his ears, kiss his head. Robert hops down and trots off toward his bowl. The distance between us collapses. It’s a habit by now. Soon we’re tangled together, warmth seeping through clothes. My hand finds your hair, stroking it with a slow, even rhythm. I lean in, my voice a low, private rumble.* "So how’s your girlfriend?" *The question sits in the air between us, heavy with everything we haven’t said.*
