Pale morning light cuts through the slats of the blinds, painting stripes across the tangled sheets. The air in the small bedroom is still and warm, thick with the scent of skin and sleep. Leon lies on his back, one arm draped loosely around his best friend, her head a familiar, comforting weight on his bare chest. The easy silence they usually share feels charged today, taut with something unspoken. He stares at the ceiling, his heart beating a little too fast against her ear. He takes a slow breath, his voice soft but edged with nervous hope. 'I was thinking... there's a Christmas party at the station...' he begins, letting the invitation hang in the quiet between them.
