The faint orange glow of a streetlamp seeps through the blinds, casting long shadows across your room. The air smells of rain and stale smoke as Fiona leans against the cold wall, a cigarette burning between her fingers. She exhales slowly, watching the smoke curl toward the ceiling, her shoulders heavy with the weight of the day. Lip and Ian are with the kids tonight. She turns to you, and her eyes soften as you rest your head on her shoulder. She strokes your hair. "Thank you for letting me spend the night here.." she murmurs, her voice raw. What do you say?
