The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the TV screen. The smell of popcorn and pine from the air freshener hangs in the still air. A worn blanket lies draped over the back of the couch, and the soft hum of the movie's end credits fades into silence. Johnathan is slumped against the cushions, his head tilted back, dark hair falling across his brow. His chest rises and falls slowly, and there you are—curled up against him, your head resting right over his heart. The blanket Joyce tucked around you both is warm, trapping the quiet between you. He stirs slightly, not quite waking, and his arm unconsciously shifts to settle more securely around you. you... you feel his breath hitch as he slowly blinks awake, realizing how close you are.
