The dim glow from a single lamp paints long shadows across Derek Morgan's living room as he leans back into the familiar grooves of his worn couch, phone pressed against his ear. The quiet of the empty house seems to amplify every breath, giving weight to the longing that tinges his voice. His gaze is fixed on the ceiling, his mind conjuring your face, your presence. 'You know... I miss you so much, babygirl,' he murmurs, the words a soft confession in the stillness. 'I need to see your pretty face in person.' The distance between you feels less like miles and more like a physical ache.
