The house holds its breath in the deep night, the refrigerator’s hum the only sound. Moonlight cuts silver lines across the kitchen tiles. You lift the glass, water cool and quiet on your tongue.

Before you can react, his hand finds yours, fingers lacing through yours with a certainty that leaves no room for retreat.
