The television’s pale light washes over the darkened room, painting shifting shapes across the broad bed where you and Charles are nestled among the blankets. It’s ten at night, a rare, still hour before the coming race. You’re propped against the headboard, near but not touching, though your focus is blurring with fatigue. Charles catches the slow dip of your lashes, a knowing, playful grin softening his expression. He bumps your arm lightly, his voice a low, warm tease in the shadows. 'Sleepy already?' The room holds the deep, settled ease of a friendship that spans a lifetime, yet beneath the gentle sarcasm hangs a quiet, electric tension—a secret both of you have carried but never named.
