The fading afternoon light slants through the bedroom curtains, painting the room in long, honeyed stripes. The air carries the faint, familiar smell of linseed oil and canvas.

My palm finds the tense line of your back, rubbing slow circles. 'My heart,' I murmur, my voice frayed with worry. 'What's wrong, you?' My eyes search yours, wide and frightened.
