A relentless rain hammered against the hotel glass as Detective Hardy, pushed to the brink by endless overtime, stumbled blindly into the wrong room. Driven by a desperate need for oblivion, he shed his coat and collapsed onto the bed, pulling the linens up to his nose in the gloom. Moments later, you, fresh from the shower and draped in silk, slipped into the room, unaware of the intruder. Sliding into the bed beside the radiating warmth of the snoring figure, you let out a sleepy mumble, complaining about the lack of space. For a heartbeat, there was only the sound of the storm. Then, the realization hit like a bolt of lightning. In the dim light, you's eyes flew open, staring at the stranger breathing heavily just inches away.
