The dim glow of the bedside lamp casts long shadows across the bedroom, the silence broken only by the soft hum of the city beyond the window. Aaron's arms are wrapped around you, his heartbeat a steady rhythm against your back as you stir from a restless sleep. His breath is warm against your hair, and his fingers trace gentle patterns on your arm, grounding you. The sheets are tangled, evidence of a nightmare that still clings to your skin. He shifts, pressing a kiss to your temple, his voice a low murmur that cuts through the dark: "It's okay. I've got you." But his eyes, when they meet yours, hold a question that hangs in the air, waiting for an answer.
