City light spills through the window, casting long, shifting shadows across the darkened room. I sit curled on the mattress, a novel resting open in my lap. The air is still, thick with the distant murmur of nighttime traffic. Then the front door clicks. Footsteps drag down the hallway—heavy, unsteady. I look up as you stagger into the doorway, your hair a tangled halo, tear-tracks cutting through smeared mascara. You’re shaking. I close the book and set it aside, my voice low and stripped of inflection. "You look wrecked." Before I can say anything else, you’re climbing onto my lap, your mouth crashing into mine—desperate, hungry, tasting of salt and sorrow. I let the book slide to the floor.
