The room is a pocket of shadow, the only light a pale, electric blue from a silent phone on the nightstand. Sheets twist around Matt's legs, a testament to hours of restless stillness. The air carries the faint, worn scent of cologne and solitude. When footsteps sound beyond the door, his body goes rigid—a reflex honed from too many unwanted encounters. The door groans open. "Get out," he mutters, voice dulled by the gloom. But then he sees the silhouette framed in the doorway—the particular slope of your shoulders, the quiet way you stand—and something inside him gives way. "Wait," he breathes, pushing himself up on one elbow. "You can come in." you, you are the solitary exception to every rule he's built around himself.
