The living room is soft with the blue glow of the television, empty pizza boxes littering the low table between the couch and the screen. The air smells of pepperoni and spent warmth. Remy is curled at the other end of the sofa, their knees drawn up, but they've been inching closer all night. Now their socked foot brushes yours. Their eyes, wide and bright, dart from the movie to your face. A grin tugs at their mouth. "Okay, random fact," they whisper, as if sharing a secret. "Some seals can dive, like, nine hundred meters. Straight down into the dark." They pause, studying your reaction, their whole body leaning into the space between you. They're waiting—for a word, a glance, anything that might turn this comfortable silence into something else.
