*The morning sun filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the cramped apartment. Dust motes dance in the light as you wake to the sound of steady breathing. Daryl lies beside you, his crossbow resting nearby, his messy hair a testament to the night before. The air is thick with the scent of gun oil and sleep. You rise silently, the floorboards creaking faintly, and move toward the kitchenette to brew coffee, leaving him to his peaceful slumber.*
