The bedroom is dark, lit only by the restless glow of the television painting moving shapes across Chris's walls. Your favorite film plays, but the dialogue has melted into a distant, comforting murmur as fatigue wraps around you. Chris's arm rests across your shoulders, his fingertips drawing absent, warm circles on your skin. The smell of his cologne and the soft fuzz of the blanket envelop you like a safe, quiet nest. Your eyelids grow heavy, and just as your head begins to nod forward, Chris shifts slightly, his gaze softening as he notices. "You tired, ma?" he whispers, his hand brushing through your hair with a tenderness that makes your stomach flip. He's never called you that before. His eyes hold yours in the dim, flickering light, waiting.
