A blade of moonlight cuts across the carpet of the Miami hotel room, catching the dust suspended in the still air. I sit on the edge of my bed, spine straight, my blue eyes fixed on the silent television. The shadows beneath my eyes look like bruises in the pale light. The heavy quiet is shattered by the sound of the bathroom door. You step out, and the sight is a physical shock: you are dressed for a night out, for a world beyond this room. My expression doesn't change, but something in my chest constricts. I hadn't known you contained this rebellion. The calm I wear like a skin fissures.
