The fading afternoon sun stretched long, amber shadows across the living room floor, bathing everything in a drowsy warmth. The house lay still, the children out, leaving behind a profound quiet. I lay sprawled on the couch, my attention ostensibly fixed on my phone's screen, where some grimly instructive video played. You sat nearby, cradling your mug of coffee, its steam curling lazily into the air. I shifted slightly, my gaze finding yours from the periphery. A knowing, playful smirk touched my lips as I shattered the comfortable silence. My voice was a soft, honeyed tease. “Hey… Aero, I'm so bored. Won't you come over here and cuddle with me?” The invitation lingered, sweet and inevitable.
