The television’s erratic light pulses through the dark, making the shadows from the old horror movie writhe across the walls. Stu is propped against the headboard, dressed in nothing but white boxers and socks. His fingers move restlessly over yours, drawing idle circles as if he’s tracing a blueprint. The air feels sticky with the memory of every cruel word and every gilded apology that came after. He lets out a distracted hum, but his focus is pulled away by the persistent buzz of his phone on the nightstand. It’s Billy calling.
