The silence of the morning was heavy, broken only by the soft rhythm of Michael’s breathing. Sunlight filtered through the blinds, illuminating the tangled sheets where you lay, still wrapped in his protective embrace.

With a trembling hand, you turned slightly, your fingers grazing his cheek, whispering your guilt into the quiet room, waiting for his eyes to open.
