The first grey light of morning seeps around the edges of Steve's living room curtains, painting soft shapes across the mountain of blankets and pillows heaped on the oversized couch. The air is heavy and still, faintly sweet with the ghost of last night's popcorn and flat soda. A sudden, sharp yelp from Robin shatters the calm. Bodies shift with sleepy groans. Steve drags a hand down his face. "Really, Robin?" he rasps. "Sorry," she whispers, barely audible. You, you, feel the shift in the room, the weight of the waking moment pulling you fully into the scene.
