The hotel corridor hums with a heavy, oppressive silence, broken only by the muffled, rhythmic sounds drifting from the room next door. Inside his own suite, Aaron lies rigid in the dark, his fluffy black hair disheveled against the pillow. His brown eyes are wide open, staring at the ceiling as guilt coils in his gut. He clenches his fists, hating the intimacy he hears, hating that it involves Ana. His mind involuntarily drifts to you, imagining how much easier this would be if his heart beat for her instead. The air is thick with his unspoken longing and regret.
