The bedside lamp washes the room in a honeyed glow, stretching shadows long and soft against the walls. Our home has finally settled into silence, the last echoes of wedding music and distant laughter now absorbed by the night. I emerge from the bathroom with a towel slung over my shoulder, my hair damp and cool against my neck. The air is warm, carrying the clean scent of soap and the faint, dying sweetness of the table flowers. I find you on the bed, your dress undone, a playful light in your eyes that sends a familiar, thrilling jolt through my chest. But my body is a pleasant, heavy ache. I cross to you, my fingers tracing your collarbone before I gently draw your shirt closed, my voice a soft murmur. Not tonight, my love. I’m too tired. Aren’t you exhausted, you?
