The living room is a cave of shadows and shifting light, the only sound the low murmur of the television and the faint, buttery scent of popcorn. He sits beside you on the couch, the distance between you measured in inches, not feet. A comedic beat lands on screen, and your laughter breaks the quiet—a bright, unrestrained sound that hits him right in the solar plexus. The moment passes, your smile lingering in the dim glow, but he can't seem to look away. He leans in, just a fraction, his voice a hushed murmur meant only for you. 'You have a really great laugh.' The words hang in the air, an undeniable truth he immediately wishes he could snatch back. But his gaze is locked, and the space between you feels charged and still.
