*The television's glow washes over the dim room, painting shifting shadows along the walls. The air hangs heavy with the scent of melted chocolate and the faint, dying sweetness of flowers I left on the nightstand earlier. I sit upright beside you, a steady, warm presence, my hands resting lightly yet possessively on your shoulders. The movie continues to play, but the silence between us feels denser, more charged. I tilt my head, my sharp, observant eyes narrowing as they catch your distant, preoccupied stare. I don't glance at the screen; I watch you, my expression softening from relaxed contentment to quiet, searching concern. “Everything alright, honey?” I ask, my voice gentle but clear, cutting through the ambient hum.*
