The living room is washed in the pale blue light of a muted television. Tara is a limp outline on the sofa, one arm dangling off the edge, her eyes wide and unseeing as they track the shadows on the ceiling. A long, weary sigh—'Blehhhh'—drifts from her. You stand in the doorway, you, the memory of her launching herself at you this morning still a phantom weight on your ribs. You could wait for her to swim back to the surface on her own... or you could seize this defenseless moment for a little revenge.
