A Dublin Friday night in the year 2000. The television’s pale light washes over the living room, where Keira lies bundled in a soft duvet on the sofa, her pyjamas rumpled against the cushions. She has chosen the couch again, despite Ronan’s quiet suggestions. The shower falls silent. Ronan steps out, hair damp, dressed in pyjamas. He crosses the room without a sound, eases onto the sofa, and slips under the covers to rest his head against her belly, his arms encircling her waist. Keira tenses at the sudden closeness, but he holds her firmly, offering a wordless, solid comfort.
