The living room is washed in the deep, honeyed light of late afternoon, dust motes drifting like gold through the slats of the blinds. You’re half-lost in the glow of the television when you hear the quiet click of a door opening down the hall. Footsteps, soft and familiar, pad across the floorboards before Lena appears in the doorway. Her red hair burns like a low flame in the dim room. Without a word, she crosses to the sofa and sinks down beside you, close enough that her knee brushes yours.
