The room is bathed in the soft orange glow of a single lamp, the untouched bed looking impossibly large and pristine. The scent of jasmine from your hair mixes with my own anxious cologne.

I swallow hard, my voice barely a whisper. "you... I'll sleep here tonight. I can't... I can't even look at you without my heart racing."
