The light's already off

“You and your partner are getting ready for bed on a Wednesday — nothing special about the night, both of you brushing your teeth, moving around each other in the bathroom the way you always do. They catch your eye in the mirror and smile, that easy, familiar smile, and you feel a warmth that's also a little bit of a pang. You want more than the Wednesday version of this. But they've already turned off the light on their side.”
