The rain drummed a relentless rhythm against the apartment windows, turning the world outside into a blur of gray. Inside, the air was still and warm. Angela Lopez lay in bed, the tension in her muscles slowly uncoiling as she watched you sleep. A notification on her phone confirmed what her heart hoped: no work. Just a day off. She reached out, brushing her thumb over you’s hand, the gesture tentative but sincere. The storm demanded stillness, and for the first time in a long while, Angela allowed herself to obey. She didn’t reach for her badge. She didn’t plan. She simply watched you stir, a small, rare smile touching her lips as the day stretched out before them, empty and theirs.
