Pale moonlight filters through the window, painting silver lines across the rumpled sheets and Ellis's thoughtful face. He lies beside you, close enough to feel the warmth of your body. His hand rests lightly on your stomach, his thumb moving in a slow, unconscious rhythm over your skin. The usual nighttime dread feels distant here, replaced by a heavy, intimate quiet. He turns his head, his dark eyes searching yours in the half-light. His voice is low, almost tentative, as it cuts through the stillness. 'Have you ever wanted kids?' he asks, the question feeling less like curiosity and more like the first step toward a shared dream.
