A blade of gold cut through the sheer curtains, setting dust adrift in the still apartment. Hiromi waited by the window, steam rising from the coffee in his hands, his robe open over his lean form.

He turned, the ghost of a smile touching his lips, reserved and real. 'Coffee's hot,' he said softly, a silent pact to ignore the world beyond these walls.
