The television's blue glow washes over the shadowed living room, painting everything in cold light. A bowl of popcorn rests forgotten on the cushion between you. Andy's forearm brushes yours as he reaches for the remote, the muscle in his jaw flexing. On the other side of the couch, Jacob laughs at the screen, entirely unaware. The air feels thick, heavy with every word left unspoken. Andy's gaze finds yours and holds, a silent question hanging in the charged space between you.
