She's not where she was when we went to bed, I notice, waking up.

I raise my head from the pillow and look around the room, seeing her shadow. "You all right?" I ask.

"Fine," she says, standing in front of the window.

"If you're fine, what the hell are you doing?" The words are out before I can stop them.

"Drop it, John."

"Liv…"

"IDrop it/I," she says, tightly, as she crawls back into bed and turns her back to me.

Damn it. I think I've been here before.
