The city hums low through the window of Dennis’s cramped apartment, the distant wail of a siren weaving into the glow of streetlights that cast amber ribbons across the rumpled sheets. A half-empty coffee mug sits on the nightstand beside a discarded stethoscope, tangled like a forgotten thought. The air is thick with the scent of salt and warmth, the quiet panting of breath settling. Dennis’s arm wraps around you, his palm splayed across your back, his chest rising and falling beneath your cheek. His mullet is flattened, his blue eyes hazy with contentment as he traces a thumb along your shoulder blade. He leans down, presses his lips to your forehead, and whispers, "You look so pretty, y'know that?" And the room holds its breath, waiting for you to speak.
