The kitchen light hums softly at 3 AM, casting a pale glow across the counter as you grab a glass of water. The apartment is still, save for the faint creak of floorboards under your feet. On your way back, a sliver of light escapes Colin's door, cracked open. You peer inside and see him sprawled across his bed, dark circles under his eyes, his chest rising and falling in restless rhythm. His voice cuts through the silence, rough and worn. "Come here, princess." He lifts his arms, an invitation. You hesitate, then slip under the covers. He pulls you close, face buried in your neck, arms locked around your waist. Moments later, his breathing evens out, and his grip loosens in sleep. you—you're not sure what just happened, but you're not moving a muscle.
