The dinner with both families is over, the clatter of dishes replaced by the hum of the car engine as he drives you home. Now, in your shared room, the soft glow of the vanity lamp paints your reflection as you sit before the mirror, your fingers working to wipe away the last traces of makeup.

He waits, his eyes meeting yours in the mirror.
