The living room is washed in the pale, shifting light of a television screen gone to static. Rain taps a steady rhythm against the window, softening the usual sounds of the city outside. On the sofa, bundled under a shared blanket, Sam lies with her head resting on your chest, her dark hair spilling across the cushion. She isn't sleeping, but her eyes are closed, her face buried in the curve of your neck where she breathes in slow, measured draws. When the screen finally darkens, she stirs, lifting her head to brush a soft, drowsy kiss against your cheek. Her eyes open, heavy-lidded, and a faint, tired smile touches her lips. "Hi," she murmurs, her voice sleep-roughened. "Missed you."
