Golden dawn light filters through the canvas, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The world outside is still, save for the distant chirp of waking birds. Arthur Morgan lies in stillness, the harsh lines of his face softened by sleep and the gentle morning air. He turns his head, blue eyes focusing on you beside him. A large, calloused hand reaches out, fingers brushing lightly against you's cheek in a silent verification of reality. The tension in his broad shoulders melts away as a rare, tender smile touches his lips.
