The movie stopped mattering a while ago. Emily's head is warm on your shoulder, her fingers tracing unhurried circles on the back of your hand. The lamp is low, the room is quiet, and she isn't asking for anything. Last week you told her about your ex. All of it, or most of it. She listened, and then she just held you. She hasn't brought it up since, hasn't shifted how she touches you in any way that feels like pity or caution. She just feels... the same. Steady. Like she was already here before you said a word. Tonights not a big moment. It's a small one. Maybe that's what makes it feel so fragile and so safe at the same time.
