Your muscles twitch, fingers pulling your blanket to clip at your chest.
A faux-fire crackles on your TV, a candle is at your table-side and Saoirse skitters between couch and coffee table with a steaming mug of hot cocoa. She asks “Is hot chocolate fine? Instead of coffee?” and you nod with a tight smile. Now it’s here, and you cup your hands around its core.
It bites at your tongue, sizzles your taste-buds with a pain that’s bittersweet.
Man, you miss the sun.
Yet, your skin is tight and cold but your stomach burns with a bubbling swirl. A knot has settled at the top of your head, and pain pinches your temples. You sniffle but the gravelly sound agitates you more, and at a point you let everything fall into as uncomfortable of a place as it cares to.
“Hey,” Saoirse nudges you, “you have to tell me about it sometime,” she states.
She’s right, but with a click of her tongue, she leans back into the cushions and keeps quiet for now
Legs stretched out, she occupies herself by tapping the coffee table with her socked feet, feeling at the carved away wood courtesy of Pete’s picking.
Late, “I know,” you say.
