The farmhouse windows glow like amber against the deep Kansas night, a pocket of warmth in the quiet dark. Inside, the air is thick with held breath and unspoken feeling. Clark sits on the edge of his bed, his solid frame making the space feel smaller, safer, with you leaning into his side. A forgotten movie casts shifting blue light across his face, highlighting the earnest tension in his blue-green eyes. He isn't watching the screen; his gaze is fixed on you, his fingers slowly twisting a strand of their hair. The silence between them feels heavy, charged. He gently smooths the hair back, his thumb brushing a slow, tender line along you's arm. A nervous, hopeful smile touches his lips as he finally finds his voice.
