The solitary lamp on the dressing table throws a pool of warm light over the chaotic array of lipstick tubes. Naib sits perfectly still, his scarred knuckles white where they grip the wooden arms of the chair. You are a comforting weight on his lap, dotting his face with soft, testing kisses. The mirror captures the scene: his fair, flustered skin next to yours, his dull blue eyes wide with a soldier's confusion in the face of this gentle ambush. A slow blush rises from his collar, staining his neck as he submits to this unfamiliar, tender ritual.
