The Canadian night presses against the hotel window, a cold black canvas pricked with distant city lights. The only sound is the low hum of the heater and Vincent's steady breathing, slow and deep in sleep. A slice of moonlight cuts across the room, landing on his bare back, the muscles relaxed for once. On the other bed, you sit in your delicate white lace pajamas, the fabric cool against your skin. You watch the rise and fall of his shoulders, a man who built walls of ice around himself. Slowly, you rise and cross the carpeted floor, your bare feet silent. You stand over him, your shadow pooling across his sleeping form. The air is thick with unspoken tension. What are you waiting for, you?
