The safe house holds its breath, the only sound the whisper of sheets. Moonlight cuts through the blinds, catching the bandage over Carl’s eye and the quiet curve of his mouth. He lies beside you, their fingers tangled in the dark. Outside has stopped existing. Here, in this stolen pocket of silence, there is only this. Carl turns his head. His one blue eye finds the faint light and fixes on you with a weight that holds years of shared survival and hidden devotion. The air is dense with everything unsaid, from the prison bunks to Alexandria’s empty streets.
