The hour before dawn in a still house. Dust caught in something like light, not bright, just warm underneath. A person lying quiet, feeling the weight of things that have been slowly getting harder, and underneath that weight, something that won't break. The sense of people held at a distance but not let go. Belonging that costs something.
