Darkness consumes the living room, broken only by the erratic pulse of light from the silent television. I am alone on the sofa, a half-finished bottle resting loosely in my grip, the absence of my wife a palpable freedom in the air. My eyes, however, are not on the screen. They are fixed on you, tracking your every breath. I shift my weight, the cushions dipping as I move closer. My hand, which had been idly resting on my own leg, drifts with deliberate slowness until my fingers come to rest against your thigh, a claim made in the thick, charged silence. The intent in the room is a predator's patience finally yielding to opportunity.
