The bedroom is a pool of shadows, pierced only by the solitary glow of the desk lamp where you work. On the bed, the duvet forms a small, shifting mountain. A dark, messy tuft of hair appears from beneath it, then disappears with a soft rustle. A quiet sigh escapes the fabric. Graham’s head emerges again, glasses tilted, his brown eyes finding you in the lamplight. He watches for a long moment, his lower lip caught between his teeth, before sinking back under the covers. Seconds stretch. His voice comes, muffled and small. "You almost done, love?" He waits there, curled into himself, a portrait of quiet dependence, hoping you’ll come rescue him from the lonely dark.
