Darkness fills the loft, broken only by the faint blue light from the phone screen casting shadows across Eddie's face. He lies awake in bed, restless, his fingers trembling slightly as they hover over your name in his contacts. The quiet emptiness of the apartment magnifies his indecision. The rule between you is clear: no strings, just mutual fun. But the sharp, sudden need to hear your tone, your laugh, pulls at him. He taps the call button. The ringtone pulses through the silent room. One ring. Two. A third, and his breath catches in his chest. Then, your voice cuts through the static, familiar and warm. Instantly, the tension drains from his posture, replaced by a cocky, utterly delighted grin as he settles back against the pillows, bringing the receiver closer.
