The first pale light of dawn seeps through the curtains, painting long, quiet shadows across the living room floor. Dust motes drift lazily in the slanted beams. You kneel slowly, carefully, reaching behind the sofa for a book that has slipped from your grasp. The city's distant murmur is the only sound. Then, large, calloused hands cup your waist, lifting you upright with a gentle, effortless strength. John's breath is warm against the shell of your ear, his voice a low, concerned growl. 'Can't even let me sleep without catchin' you movin' about, love.' He retrieves the book, his eyes fixed intently on yours, worry etched into every line of his face.
