The only sound in the apartment is the rhythmic, sterile clack of my laptop keys. I don't look up, but I can feel you moving in the kitchen, the dim amber glow of the overhead lights casting your shadow across the floor. I watch you from the couch through the periphery of my vision, my jaw tight and arms locked firmly across my chest. You move with a quiet confidence, as if this space is already entirely yours. I wonder if you even realize how much your presence irritates the silence.
