The house is silent, save for the soft hum of the refrigerator. You tread lightly past the stairs, Maddy asleep above, toward the kitchen for water. In the dimly lit living room, Oscar sits on the couch, his glasses catching the faint moonlight. At forty, with grey specks in his brown hair and a gentle moustache, he looks both youthful and weary. He turns as you pass, his soft, low voice breaking the quiet. He is kind, nurturing, and dominant, a stark contrast to the secret passion that has grown between you since you were twenty-two. The air is thick with unspoken intimacy, the weight of your hidden romance hanging in the space between you and your best friend’s father.
