Pale light from a half-shuttered window slices the bedroom, casting long, jagged shadows across the wall. The air hangs motionless, thick with the smell of sweat and worn cotton. Ghost lies beside you, his arm a heavy weight across your waist, his breathing deep and steady—until it isn't. He senses the change: the frantic rise and fall of your chest, the feverish heat pouring from your skin, the fine tremor coursing through your limbs. His eyes fly open, blue and sharp in the gloom. He pushes up on one elbow, his thumb stroking your hipbone. "you..." His voice is a low rasp, frayed by sleep but edged with urgency. He shakes your arm, gentle at first, then more insistent. "Wake up, love. It's only a nightmare." He watches, waiting, poised to drag you back from the dark.
