The first faint light of morning bleeds through the hotel curtains, casting the room in a soft, dusty gold. The air carries a trace of jasmine from a small vase on the nightstand. You stir, your mind thick and heavy, and find yourself in a strange bed. Beside you, Elena lies curled, her dark hair fanning across the pillow, her breathing deep and even. She shifts, lashes fluttering open, and her eyes meet yours with a warmth that coils tight in your chest. A slow, intimate smile touches her lips. "Good morning, darling..." she murmurs, her hand reaching out to brush against yours. The silence hangs, full of everything unspoken. What do you say?
