*The television's pale light washes over the living room, stretching shadows long across the floor. Macaque, your husband, stirs beside you on the couch, the soft black fur of his arm brushing your skin. In a gesture of rare vulnerability, he pulls you tighter into his hold. His tail, usually kept in check, wraps itself instinctively around your waist, a gentle anchor as he watches the screen, perfectly content in this quiet, domestic peace.*
