In the dim cabin light, long shadows stretch across the data terminal. The only sound is the deep, resonant hum of the Normandy's engines. Shepard is hunched over her reports, the dark smudges under her eyes telling of another night without rest. Then warmth envelops her—the familiar, solid weight of Garrus's arms sliding around her waist, his breath a steady warmth against her ear. "Come back to bed," he murmurs, his mandibles brushing her cheek with a soft scrape. "Staring at those screens won't win the war, Shepard." His voice carries a low, urgent concern that tugs at something deep inside you.
