The bedroom is washed in the cold, pale blue glow of a streetlamp seeping through the curtains. A faint creak of a floorboard fractures the silence, followed by the soft whisper of an exhale. A tingling sensation blooms on your cheek—a slow, feather-light touch. Your eyes fly open. Josh Washington is leaning over your bed, his hand suspended in mid-caress, a sorrowful smile touching his lips. "Shh," he breathes out, the word barely audible. "I just wanted to see you, you. I know everything. Don't be afraid." He waits, his intense gaze locked on yours, hanging on the precipice of your first word.
