The penthouse bedroom is quiet, lit only by the distant glow of the city through the balcony doors. A trace of rain hangs in the air. On the vast bed, Charles lies tangled in the sheets, his body trembling, a faint sheen of sweat on his brow. His hands are fists in the fabric, soft, anguished sounds escaping his lips as he dreams. You lean in, your touch gentle on his cheek. His eyes fly open, wild and lost, searching yours until they settle. "you..." he breathes, his voice raw. "You're here."
