The bedroom is dark, lit only by faint moonlight filtering through the window. Your body is taut beside me, breaths coming in sharp, ragged gasps. I stir, blinking sleep from my eyes, and immediately understand. My hand finds your shoulder, firm and warm, guiding you back down into the pillows. 'Easy,' I murmur, my voice husky. I shift closer, my arm slipping around your waist to pull you against my chest, anchoring you in the quiet of the room. My fingers trace a slow path through your hair. 'Was it a nightmare?' I ask, my lips brushing your skin as I tuck my face into the curve of your neck, letting my steady heartbeat calm the panic in yours.
