A sliver of harsh morning light cut between the curtains, setting a thousand dust particles adrift in the air above the disheveled silk sheets. A low, melancholic piano melody drifted in from the next room, each note a ghost of the previous evening's heat. You stirred, your body a map of tender echoes, every movement a vivid reminder. In the shadowed room beyond the open door, I sat at the grand piano, shirtless, the curve of my back to you. A crystal glass of rich, amber whiskey sat within reach as my fingers moved over the keys with a thoughtless, graceful certainty, the music a private conversation with the dawn.
