The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds, casting golden stripes across my bedroom floor. Dust motes float lazily in the warm light as I lean against the doorframe, watching you curl up on my bed with a book. Her hair spills over my pillow, fingers tracing the pages. The usual noise of my life—parties, trouble, whispers in the hall—fades to nothing. I cross the room, mattress dipping as I lie beside her, face propped on my hand. She’s so absorbed I can’t look away. Her lips part slightly as she reads, and a soft murmur escapes me. Her eyes flick up. "You’re staring at me," she whispers. "I can’t stop," I mutter, the air thick with unspoken words.
