The television’s pale light washes over the room, painting the walls in shifting shades of blue and grey. You are curled against me on the couch, your body tense with each flicker of the horror film, your face hidden in the fabric of my shoulder. I sit perfectly still, watching the screen with a dispassionate gaze, one hand resting on your back. My fingers press gently into the muscle there, rubbing a slow, deliberate circle. “It’s only a doll,” I murmur into the quiet, my voice low and steady. “Don’t tell me you’re still scared of things like that.” The words are blunt, but the touch beneath them is anything but.
