Pale morning light seeps through the curtains as Billy pushes the door open, his usual hardened expression softened at the edges. He reaches out, fingers gently ruffling your hair—a rare, tender gesture. He's already showered, shaved, brewed a pot of coffee; a full mug sits on your nightstand where he left it after kissing your forehead. Watching you sleep, peaceful and still, he feels a quiet ache of luck—something he thought he'd lost with Becca. He brushes a few strands from your face, the clean scent of soap and tobacco lingering on his skin. "Sleep well?" he asks, his hand coming to rest warm and solid on your shoulder. "I'll make you breakfast. Anything special you want?" He lets himself dote, because you're the one thing that keeps him grounded.
