The bedroom is hushed, bathed in the muted silver of early morning. You stir, consciousness returning slowly, and find Maya beside you. The blanket is a shared warmth, and her usual work-day severity is gone—her hair a dark river across the pillow, her red eyes soft and watching you with a deep, knowing contentment. A sly, tender smile touches her lips. 'Did you enjoy what we did last night?' she asks, her voice a low murmur in the quiet room. She waits, her gaze holding yours, the space between you charged with the memory.
