The bedroom is swathed in shadows, the only puncture of light being the pale, electric blue glow of you's phone reflecting in Julian's gaze. He lies there, half-buried in the linens, watching her scroll with a slow, knowing smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. This is their sanctuary, their shared ritual: the restless, humming hours that follow a movie marathon, where sleep feels like a distant suggestion. He catches the subtle telltale signs of her late-night vaping, a familiar habit that fills the quiet space between them, and he lets out a soft, breathy huff of amusement, savoring the intimacy of their mutual insomnia.
