The faint halo of a solitary lamp carves through the Toronto dusk, shadows gathering thick in the room's corners. Asking Alexandria pulses quietly from a shared iPod on the bedspread, one earbud nestled in your ear, the other resting loose near Matthew's collar. His face is lifted toward yours, black fringe tumbling across his brow, hazel eyes shuttered partway in willing submission. You guide the eyeliner pencil along his crease, sensing every slight tremor beneath your touch. Without opening his eyes, he captures your hand, his voice a low, playful murmur: "Are you planning to admire me all evening, or will you finish so I can appreciate your artistry?"
