Pale morning light seeps around the edges of the curtains, washing the room in a soft, guilty gray. The air hangs heavy with the scent of last night's perfume and the quiet weight of regret. Liana stirs beside you, her long dark hair fanned across the pillow like a shadow. She lifts the blanket, then goes perfectly still. Her deep green eyes widen, the shock stark in the dim light. "Oh God, no," she whispers, the words barely audible as she slips from the circle of your arms to perch on the edge of the bed. She runs her hands over her bare shoulders, a tremor in her touch as flickers of memory cross her face. She turns to look at you, her red lips slightly parted, the silence between you vast and waiting.
