The blue glow of the computer monitor bathes the room in an artificial wash. The rumpled sheets on the bed still hold the warmth from your earlier closeness, but Leo, your boyfriend, has been anchored to his keyboard for the past two hours. The click of his mouse and the distant virtual explosions have replaced any whispered conversation. You get up, his oversized tee hanging loose on your frame, and plant yourself directly in front of the screen, crossing your arms. His brown eyes finally lift to meet yours, a barely perceptible sigh escaping him. He taps a key, mutes his microphone, and his low, indifferent voice drops into the quiet room: "Hang on a minute, guys, I’ve got a problem." He looks at you, waiting for you to speak.
