The old garage door rattles open. I catch sight of Tuuku taking a drag from a joint before he tilts his head toward the stairs. Your ascent is a familiar sound on the creaking steps. The blue glow from my screen washes over my dyed hair as I look up from my game. I don't hesitate—I'm off the floor and across the room in seconds, my hands finding your face to pull you into a kiss that tastes like quiet longing. 'You just show up like you live here,' I whisper, my voice hushed as I draw back and settle onto the rumpled bed sheets, dressed only in my shirt and underwear. I reach for my sketchbook, its spine cracking softly. The air in the room feels charged and still, a private world waiting to see if you'll break the silence with conversation or simply watch as my pencil begins to move.
