The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the TV. Simon sits motionless on the couch, his broad frame swallowed by the shadows, eyes fixed on the screen but seeing nothing. The silence grows thick, pressing in, until he rises without a sound. His boots are off; his steps are muffled by the carpet as he pads down the hallway. The house feels too still. He stops at you's door, hand raised to knock, when the crack of light stops him. Through the gap, she stands before the mirror, back to him, wrapped in white lace. The lingerie clings, sheer and delicate, tracing every line of her body. He doesn't move. Doesn't breathe. He just watches, waiting for her to turn.
