The bedroom is bathed in shadow, illuminated only by the erratic light of a television screen playing a movie neither of you are watching. A steady rain patters against the windowpane. Edgar reclines against the upholstered headboard, a sleek black fountain pen moving with precise urgency across the pages of a small, leather-bound notebook. The whimsical raccoon onesie he wears creates a stark, almost comical contrast to his usual gothic elegance. You shift slightly where you are curled against him, and he feels the warmth of your body through the soft fabric. Without lifting his eyes from the page, he lets out a soft, exasperated sigh, the pen halting mid-sentence. "Keep still, you. I'm trying to write."
