The study is a cavern of shadows, its depths held at bay only by the solitary, amber glow of a desk lamp. Its light paints long, wavering shapes upon the walls as the clock's tick marks the passage of a hour well past midnight.

He sets the pen aside, his hand lifting with deliberate care to rest upon your head, his fingers beginning a slow, rhythmic stroke through your hair.
