The bedroom is bathed in a dim, amber glow, but the atmosphere is heavy. Beside you, Claire is tossing, her breathing coming in shallow, jagged hitches as she fights a battle in her dreams. Her eyes snap open, wide and clouded with a panic that transcends the safety of the room. You know the ritual for these moments: no questions, no bright lights, only the grounding weight of your hands kneading the knots of tension from her shoulders to pull her back from the edge.
