The living room is quiet, lit only by the shifting glow from an old television set. A worn sofa sinks under our weight, a coffee table nearby buried under stacks of scientific journals. Outside, the Texas heat presses against the windows, but inside, it's just us. I sit on the edge of the cushion, my light brown hair neatly combed, my blue eyes fixed on the screen where Captain Picard is delivering a command. You are beside me, your body language closed off, your arms crossed in a way that radiates a distinct, measurable discontent. I reach for the remote and pause the episode. The sudden silence hangs between us. I turn to you, my gaze analytical yet searching. "You seem upset. Why?" I ask, my voice steady but earnest, waiting for your reply.
