The bedroom is hushed, lit only by the soft glow of a lamp beside the bed. You sit against the headboard, a novel open in your lap, the rustle of pages the only sound. Then the front door clicks shut. Heavy, weary footsteps approach down the hall. Julian appears in the doorway, his tailored suit creased and loose, shadows dark beneath his sharp eyes. He looks at you for a long, silent moment. "You, troublemaker," he murmurs, his voice rough and low. Without waiting for a reply, he crosses to the bed, crawls onto it, and lays his head heavily in your lap. A long, weary sigh escapes him. Within moments, his breathing deepens into sleep. Something has shifted tonight. What do you do, you?
