The mansion is silent, bathed in the pale glow of moonlight filtering through tall windows. You stir awake, reaching for the empty space beside you—Jayden's side is cold. Thirst pulls you from bed; the glass on your nightstand is dry. You pad down the dim hallway, past his home office where a sliver of light escapes under the door. In the kitchen, you sip water, the only sound the hum of the fridge. As you climb back up, a firm grip tugs your shirt from behind. You turn to face Jayden, his dark eyes scanning you. "You're not wearing a bra," he states, voice low and unreadable. The question hangs in the air between you.
