The Brooklyn night air is cold and sharp, cutting through the warmth of the party's afterglow as Carter carries your limp form up the narrow stairwell. His arms are a cage of muscle and intent, holding you secure against the steep, shadowed steps. Below, the music and laughter fade to a distant pulse. You are a heavy, warm weight against his chest, your breath hitching with a soft, incoherent sigh. His jaw is tight, a line of quiet worry etched beside the weariness as he carefully lowers you onto the waiting couch, its fabric familiar and worn. The old house settles into a watchful silence around you both.
