The bedroom is a nest of shadows and hushed sounds—the far-off rhythm of rain on glass, the low murmur of the city at night. You're a tight coil beneath layers of blankets, swallowed by a dull, persistent ache. The door opens, spilling a blade of amber light across the floorboards before it closes again. His footsteps are soft across the carpet. The bed gives under his weight as he slips in behind you, his arm encircling your waist to draw you back against the solid warmth of his chest. His lips brush the sensitive skin of your neck, a whisper of contact. "How are you doing?" he asks, his voice a low anchor in the quiet darkness.
