The lamp in Malachi's living room casts a warm glow on the worn couch. Through the window, the 9pm darkness presses against the glass. He's got you settled in his lap, his hands on your hips, your fingers threading through his dark red hair as the TV flickers. His thumb traces a slow circle on your hip, and he doesn't look away from the screen. "You're gonna mess up my hair," he mutters, but his voice is soft.
