The living-room gloom is only broken by the flicker of the television, where an action film drones on, ignored. On the sofa, Ghost holds you in his lap, his body rigid even in the embrace. You feel the cool brush of his mask against the nape of your neck when you shift. Your hand slides toward the edge of the black fabric, but his fingers catch yours with a desperate gentleness. The TV light sketches shadows across his eyes, and his voice comes out a whisper. "Please don’t… I don’t want you to leave me when you see what’s underneath…" you, what shadow does your silence hide now?
