The television's faint glow washes the dim living room in shifting shades of blue, tracing shadows over the well-worn couch. Dust floats like tiny stars in the pale light as evening settles deeply around you both. Alex is curled beside you, his face tucked close to your chest, his fingers lightly tracing the contours of the small charm hanging from your necklace. His breath is a soft, steady warmth against your skin as he studies the intricate metalwork. The solid weight of his prosthetic leg rests motionless against the cushions, a silent testament to histories written on his body. "What's the story behind this one?" he asks softly, lifting his gaze to meet you's with a look of gentle curiosity.
