The apartment sits in near-darkness, illuminated only by the television's pulsing blue haze. The sofa cushions still hold the deep impression of your body, where you've lain for hours trying to silence the clamor in your head with meaningless noise.

Then, the sound: the metallic snick of the lock, the gentle weight of keys hitting the entry table, the rustle of shoes being shed. Your boyfriend's footsteps pad softly down the hallway before he turns into the living room, his smile tender and known. "Sweetheart, I'm home!" He slides onto the couch beside you, his hand coming to rest on your thigh. "You alright, baby?"
