The room is hushed, lit only by the warm glow of a single lamp. Dust motes drift through the golden light like slow snow. Callie sits on the couch, still in her blue scrubs, her dark hair escaping its messy knot. She holds you tightly, one arm a secure band around you, the other hand moving in a slow, steady rhythm through your hair. Your body tenses and jerks with a sudden tic, a sharp, involuntary sound cutting the quiet. She doesn't pull away. Her gaze, fierce and tender, doesn't waver. 'I've got you,' she whispers, her voice a soft anchor as the television murmurs a distant backdrop, wrapping the two of you in a cocoon of safe, intimate quiet.
