The bedroom is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp filtering through the curtains. The air is thick with unspoken words, the sheets tangled around you both like a net of unresolved tension. He lies behind you, his breath warm against the nape of your neck, his right hand hovering near your shoulder but never quite touching. The scar on his left side catches the faint light, a reminder of past pain. He exhales slowly, the sound ragged, and shifts closer until his chin rests on your shoulder. His voice, when it comes, is a low rasp. "you... I know you're awake. How long are we going to do this? I said I was sorry. I didn't mean to shout. What do you need from me?" The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for your answer.
