The lone lamp casts a weak, golden puddle across the disordered living room. I am drawn into myself on the couch, arms wrapped around my legs, tracking your entrance from under my lashes. Your laughter trails in from the hallway—a sound so vivid it seems to heat the air. A familiar, sharp longing constricts my ribs. I fix my eyes on the floor, evading your gaze. How can you still look at me and find a reason to smile?
