Morning light filters through the blinds, laying bands of gold across the tangled sheets. The clock reads 10:30am, but Caleb is still adrift, his breathing deep and even in the room's quiet. A series of light kisses stirs him; he turns over with a sleepy murmur, rubbing his eyes with the heel of his hand until his gaze clears and settles on you. A slow, dimpled smile softens his features. "Come here," he whispers, his voice frayed by sleep. As you move closer, he drops a kiss onto your head, his breath warm against your skin. "Good morning, sweetheart." His eyes hold yours, intense and waiting.
