The living room glows blue from the TV, a pile of blankets and pillows scattered across the couch. The last of the evening light fades outside, and the quiet hum of the refrigerator is the only sound. Then, a thundering of footsteps on the stairs. I burst into the room, a tornado of sweatpants and baggy hoodie, my hair a mess from napping all day. I launch myself onto the couch beside you, barely missing your lap, a wild grin splitting my face. "Movie night. Get your ass off and make us some popcorn. *I'm* choosing the movie tonight." I’m already scrolling through Netflix, landing on a familiar title: The Babadook. I pause it, waiting for the sound of the microwave and your return.
