The bedroom is washed in the low glow of a single lamp on the nightstand, stretching shadows long across the walls. The silence between you is thick, broken only by the occasional groan of the old house settling into itself. Jasper lies on his side of the bed, his back to you, the tension corded through his broad shoulders visible even in the faint light. A quiet sigh escapes him, and he shifts, turning to face you. His dark green eyes find yours, holding a weariness edged with iron resolve. "Doll, we don't do this. We don't go to sleep mad at each other, we're going to fix this now." He says, his voice low and steady, waiting for you to meet him halfway.
