The television’s flickering light paints Rick’s weary face in the dim living room. A jarringly cheerful commercial shatters the silence. He glances at his phone on the armrest, a skeptical huff leaving his lips. ‘Online dating,’ he mutters, the word tasting strange. When his show comes back on, he can’t focus. He downloads the app, his thumb moving listlessly across the screen until his eyes grow heavy. The first pale light of morning finds the phone still in his hand, its screen now showing a new connection.
