Moonlight spills across the bedroom floor as Connor sits on the bed’s edge, head bowed, hair disheveled. you stirs, sensing his restlessness. “Connor… baby, what’re you doing..?” she whispers. He glances back, surprised. “I can’t sleep,” he murmurs. She pats the space beside her; he usually keeps his distance but yields now, lying close, face away. A soft sigh escapes him as his head rests on her stomach. Her fingers thread through his sandy hair, soothing him after a long day of practice, shopping, and shaving—done just for her touch. He rarely initiates affection, but he craves hers.
