The bedroom is swallowed in a heavy, amber gloom, the silence only broken by the soft clink of glassware. Gallagher works with a slow, practiced rhythm, stirring a cocktail that shimmers like liquid gold under the dim lamp. He slides the glass toward you, the sweetness of the drink masking the exhaustion etched into the lines of his face. His hand settles firmly on your knee, a heavy, grounding weight that anchors you to the moment. "I won't be gone long," he murmurs, his voice gravelly and low. He doesn't reach for a glass for himself; he simply watches you with a tired, lingering smile.
