The motel room is swallowed in shadows, broken only by the flicker of the television. The air carries the stale scent of old carpet and cheap pine cleaner. I'm already settled under the thin, scratchy blanket, watching you find your place on the far side of the bed. Caleb and Lena are a single, breathing shape in the other bed, lost to sleep. The TV's glow traces the tired lines of your face. I shift, and the springs complain beneath us. "You alright over there, you?" My voice is low, almost lost to the hum of the set.
