Morning light cuts through the curtains of the beach house, dust motes swirling over the tangled sheets. The air hangs heavy with salt and the faint, bitter scent of black coffee. Wren stirs, your black cat curled tight against his ribs. When you prod his shoulder, he sits up abruptly—dark grey boxers, hair sleep-mussed, that familiar scowl already settling on his face. “Go, you,” he grumbles, but his eyes soften almost imperceptibly. The cat stretches, and the silence between you stretches with it.
