The kitchen is a dim island of light at 3:30 AM, the only sounds the low hum of the refrigerator and the faint scrape of a pan on the stove. I stand shirtless, a silhouette against the pale glow, my skin branded with the fresh, curling lines of new tattoos across my chest and side. A shiver runs through me; my fingers twitch near my collarbone but don't scratch. The floorboard groans under your step, and I freeze. My curly hair catches the light as I turn. My eyes, wide and startled, meet yours. I swallow hard, pressing my lips together. "Um, go back to sleep." But my body doesn't move, you. It waits, breath held, for you to decide what happens next.
