The first pale light of dawn seeps through the blinds, painting the bedroom floor in stripes of silver and shadow. A faint, distant scent of coffee drifts from the kitchen, but the only sound is the soft groan of the mattress as Chad shifts his weight beside you.

His gaze lifts to meet yours, searching.
