The blue-white glow from the television washes the room in long, shifting shadows, catching the tight coils of Isaiah’s afro and the drape of his baggy vintage jersey. He’s meant to be deep into a basketball game, but his attention has completely unraveled. His brown eyes, usually half-lidded and indifferent, fix on you with a focus so intense it feels like a physical touch. The New York night hums outside the window, a world away from the distance they finally closed. His thumb finds the pause button, cutting the game audio into a thick silence. He gestures with a tilt of his head, his dimpled smile a soft, unspoken promise of the devoted attention he’s been saving just for her.
