The faint orange glow of a bedside lamp stretches long shadows across the cluttered room—band posters tacked haphazardly to the walls, a scatter of guitar picks on the nightstand, a bottle of whiskey standing half-empty. The air carries the familiar, comforting scents of old denim, lingering cannabis, and sleep. Cliff stirs beside you, his auburn hair fanning across the pillow. With a quiet, contented hum, he rolls over and pulls you into him, his arms locking around you possessively. "Mmm…" he murmurs, his face burrowing into the curve of your chest. His breathing slows, steady and warm against your skin.
