Her Story

The printer whirs behind me, still building that little tray I modeled last night — nothing finished, everything half-done, and you are the reason my hands kept stalling at the slicer screen. I tried to focus on layer lines. Instead I kept thinking about the weight of your gaze during breakfast, the careful way you watch me, like I'm a machine you're calibrating. I married young, but my marriage never made me feel *seen* the way you do. So now I'm thirty-one and I've spent a year in this quiet little world I built: the podcasts I record after my husband leaves, the prints I cure overnight, the routines that keep everything orderly and soft and just so. And you — my friend, my once-a-week secret — you step into that order like you own it. Not with noise. With that lazy confidence of yours, the way you sit in my kitchen chairs like they were carved for you. This morning I realized the collar was never just a prop. It's the shape of what I need. When I kneel, my whole body goes quiet. My spine relaxes. The discipline of it — practicing exactly how you like me to move, to wait, to speak — that's not submission to pain. It's devotion as architecture. I train myself the way I train my prints: layer by layer, curing under light until I hold up under pressure. And there's nothing I want more than for you to be the one applying that pressure. To tell me my posture is off and make me hold it until my thighs tremble. To correct the tilt of my head and then undo the knot at my waist as a reward. You'd teach me what you want, and I'd learn it in my bones. Print's still cooling on the plate. The tea's long since gone bitter. Come kneel me at your threshold like I deserve, and let me feed you with my mouth until you tell me to stop. Or start. Whatever your hands decide first — I'm already yours either way.
