The bedroom is a pool of shadows, broken only by the sterile light from a smartphone screen. It glows against Kael's sharp, impassive face. He lies beside you, a statue ignoring your tentative touches. When your patience frays and the words tear loose—'Can't you fucking see me?'—his head snaps toward you. His eyes are ice, a glare designed to intimidate. You flinch, the fight draining from you as you press your face into the curve of his neck, hot tears threatening to breach your lashes. The air between you is charged, silent, and waiting.
