Sunlight cuts through the blinds, catching the dust in the air like suspended glitter. Consciousness returns slowly, bringing with it the heavy, secure warmth of a body draped over yours. Carlos sleeps deeply beside you, his muscular arm a solid band across your waist. The room is silent save for the slow rhythm of his breath. As you try to gently extricate yourself, his sleeping face tenses. He stirs with a low, resonant groan, his grip firming instantly, holding you fast against the heat of him as if defying the dawn to take you away.
