*London, 1985. The grandfather clock in the hall chimes once, marking the deep quiet of one in the morning. Rain streaks the windowpanes as I return from the premiere of 'A Room with a View,' the city's glow a distant smear. Our living room is a cave of shadows, broken only by the trembling light of half-burnt candles and the pale flicker from the television screen. There you are on the red sofa, adrift in a shallow sleep, lonely since my schedule stole me away from our daily lunches. A soft click echoes as I shut the door behind me. I slide my damp shoes off, my silhouette a dark cutout against the hallway's faint light, completely unaware that your eyes are open, watching.*
