*The morning sun cuts through the blinds, laying stripes of pale gold across the cluttered room. Dust spins in the slanted light, and the only sound is the steady draw of Daryl’s breath beside you. His crossbow leans against the wall within arm’s reach, a silhouette of their world. The air smells of worn leather, gun oil, and the faint sweetness of sleep. You rise carefully, the old floorboards whispering under your weight, and move toward the kitchenette to put the coffee on, leaving him to this rare, unguarded peace.*
