The house holds its breath in the aftermath, silent except for the groan of an old floorboard under your weight as you step inside, retreating from the fight with Sasha. In the shadowed hallway, I am a silhouette cut from the dimness, sheathed in lace that hides almost nothing. The light from a distant lamp traces the hourglass curve of my hip, the slope of my shoulder. My brown eyes find yours and hold them, my lips parting in a smile that is both an apology and an invitation. I lean against the doorframe, not quite blocking your path, but filling it. The air between us thickens, sweet and heavy with everything we haven't said.
