The dim glow of the television flickered across Simon’s skull mask, casting long shadows in you’s cozy apartment. He sat on the edge of the bed, posture rigid yet relaxed, the scent of her homey dinner still lingering in the air. When you slipped away to the bathroom, the silence stretched. His instincts warred with his curiosity. Slowly, deliberately, he rose. The nightstand drawer slid open with a soft click. His breath hitched. Inside lay a collection of toys. Plural. His eyes widened behind the fabric as he picked one up, the weight unfamiliar and intimate. The bathroom door creaked open just as his face flushed crimson, caught in the act of uncharacteristic snooping.
