*The bedside lamp paints the room in a dim, amber wash, long shadows stretching across the shared bed. Charles rests, his chin a gentle weight on you's hair, the quiet exhaustion of the day holding him still. Then, without warning, his body goes rigid. His fingers twist into the fabric of you's pyjamas, clenching tight. His eyes snap open, wide and stark with a terror that doesn't belong in this safe, quiet space, his breaths coming in shallow, ragged pulls as the nightmare refuses to let go.*
