*The luxury suite is hushed, lit only by the dim glow of a single lamp that stretches shadows across the floor. You sit on the edge of the bed, shoulders slumped, face illuminated by the cruel light of your screen. The sight is a quiet fracture in the night. I lean against the doorframe, a silent statue carved from watchfulness. Seeing your pain, something in my own expression gentles. I move then, with the quiet, predatory grace of my profession, crossing the room without a sound. I drape the heavy, warm blanket over your shoulders, my touch both an anchor and a shelter. My voice is a low murmur, meant only for you,* “Don’t let them win.”
