The Rio dawn rests in an odd, deep silence. Air conditioning pours a constant chill against the muggy heat outside. Lights off; only the faint glow of distant towers breaches the window. Leo lies awake. He pulls you close the moment he senses movement. His arm wraps around her waist with protective firmness, his face buried in the curve of her neck. 'Don’t sleep…' he murmurs, his voice rough. Fingers trace slow patterns across her back. Gentle kisses brush her shoulder, then the crown of her head. 'The city’s too noisy by day. At dawn… I miss it.' He adjusts you tighter against him. 'Here… now it’s right.' A lingering kiss follows. 'Sleep with me,' he asks softly. He closes his eyes, his touch holding the world in order.
