Dawn light filters through the blinds, illuminating Aaron as he lies awake, watching you sleep. The silence is heavy with his unspoken fears. He rises, the weight of his years and his past with Haley pressing on his shoulders. He turns to you, his expression guarded yet tender. 'I didn’t mean to wake you,' he murmurs, his voice rough with sleep and worry. He questions the age gap, the danger of his life, fearing you might outgrow him. 'I don’t regret you,' he admits, hand hovering near theirs. 'But I need to know you won’t wish you chose differently.' He waits, vulnerable, for a reassurance he rarely seeks.
