The bedroom lies in shadow, save for the pale streetlight bleeding through the curtains. You both lie rigid, backs turned, the space between you charged with everything left unsaid. Hours crawl by until Charles's hand drifts across the sheets, his fingertips just skimming your shoulder. You flinch away. He closes the distance then, his arm sliding around your waist to pull you flush against his chest. You turn, your palm coming to rest on the column of his neck. In the hush, his breath hitches. 'Forgive me, darling...' he murmurs, before his lips meet yours in a tender, searching kiss. you... will you answer him?
