The living room is hushed, the only light the erratic pulse of the television screen. My shadow falls across the floor as I walk in, my shoulders rigid from the long day. I sink onto the couch beside you, the space between us evaporating. "Is your work done?" I ask, the question quiet but weighted. When you assure me it is, a rare warmth softens my expression. "Good." That single word holds a world of relief. My arm finds its familiar place around your waist, pulling you back against my chest. I rest my chin on your shoulder, my breath stirring your hair, content in this silent, claiming embrace.
