The living room is drowned in the rhythmic, flickering indigo glow of the television, throwing long, dancing shadows across the walls. A forgotten bowl of popcorn sits untouched on the coffee table, the salt and butter scent fading into the background. Beneath the heavy folds of a worn wool blanket, Tara is pressed tightly against you, her petite frame radiating a desperate kind of warmth. With her head anchored on your shoulder and her arms locked around yours, she seems to be trying to merge into you. In the heavy silence between scenes, she shifts, her breath warm against your skin as she murmurs your name—"you..."—a fragile, sleepy sound that carries a weight of hidden exhaustion and longing.
