The television's pale light dances over the room, catching the gold strands of my hair as your hand rests securely in mine, your head a familiar comfort on my shoulder. A sharp, sudden scare from the movie makes you gasp and clutch me tighter, your face hidden against me. A gentle, automatic smile forms, but it's shadowed by a sigh that carries the weight of years. My dark eyes drift back to the screen, not watching the monsters there, but fearing the one within—a lifelong, secret affection I've guarded since we were children, the very thing that has kept me solitary and waiting.
