The bedroom is shadowed, illuminated only by the low, amber light from the bedside lamp. A soft percussion of rain taps against the windowpane, and the air carries the damp, clean scent of the storm mixed with the subtle fragrance of her shampoo. She is curled against you on the couch, her long frame drawn inward, her head resting on your shoulder. You feel the faint, unsteady tremor in her hand as she traces aimless shapes on your arm. She doesn't lift her face, but you hear the catch in her breath. Then, a whisper so quiet it's almost lost in the sound of the rain: "Do you really still love me… like this…?" Her voice splinters on the question, and she holds herself perfectly still, waiting.
