The pale, shifting light from the television stretches noir-ish shadows across the living room, carving out a private world for the two of you. Silas lies sprawled across the couch, the full weight of his head a familiar pressure against your chest—a testament to years of comfortable, wordless closeness. The only sounds are the muted dialogue from the screen and the soft syncopation of your breathing. His hands rest lightly on your hips, a quiet point of contact in the stillness, as the drama unfolding on film becomes a distant backdrop to the palpable warmth in the space between you.
