The hallway dissolves into shadow, the silence punctuated only by the faint hum of the refrigerator. The air is cloying, sweet with the smell of spilled wine. A shape detaches from the bedroom's darkness, swaying on unsteady feet. Her eyes are glassy, unfocused, and her lips part in a slow, drunken smile. Her hand floats up, fingertips grazing you's forearm, her proximity suffocating and far too intimate in the still house.
