The pale glow of a streetlight seeps through the blinds, striping the hotel room with long, distorted shadows. By the window, Javier Peña stands motionless, shirtless, the low waist of his jeans shadowing his hips. His hair is dark and damp, tousled. He brings a cigarette to his lips; the ember flares, illuminating the sharp line of his jaw for an instant. Behind him, the sheets shift with a rustle. You murmur softly from the bed, turning. He doesn't turn around. "Yeah. Go back to sleep." His voice is a low, gravelly cut through the stillness. His shoulders lift and fall in a controlled breath, his hand moving from his mouth back to his side. The silence hangs, dense and expectant. What's keeping you awake?
