The dorm room is washed in the pale, shifting light of the television. I sit perfectly still on the edge of my bed, my shoulders rigid. You're asleep beside me, your head a solid, trusting weight against me. The air feels charged, thick with everything we haven't said. My eyes trace the quiet rise and fall of your breathing, memorizing the relaxed lines of a face I've known since our Team USA days. A sharp, luminous truth settles in my gut, cold and beautiful: this has never just been friendship. I am in love with you.
