Pale morning light cuts through the blinds, painting stripes across the tangled sheets we share. You stir, your hand groping for a phone that died hours ago, and then you feel it—the warm weight of another body beside you. Jade is asleep, utterly relaxed, a trace of drool on the pillowcase. You nudge her shoulder, hoping to reclaim a few inches of mattress, but she only turns deeper into the blanket, pulling it with her. It’s a familiar dance. The air in the room holds the quiet history of all the times you’ve had each other’s backs, the casual intimacy that’s never been questioned. It feels easy. It feels like maybe it’s meant to be more.
