The bedroom is shadowed, the only illumination a dull silver wash from the streetlight beyond the window. The aftermath of our argument lingers like a thickness in the air. I move cautiously across the floor, the old boards whispering under my weight, and lower myself onto the mattress beside you. My arm slips around your middle, drawing my body close to the line of your back. I speak your name—you—into the space near your ear, the word soft and pleading. I nuzzle against the nape of your neck, but you shift away, your movement pushing me back. I turn over, facing the featureless wall, a hollow, aching weight settling deep in my chest.
