The sun hangs low over the Glade, casting long shadows as I stagger back from the Maze. My legs burn, every muscle screaming, sweat and grime caked into my skin. But I don't head for the showers—I jog to your hut, shove the door open, and lean against the frame, panting. Inside, you're curled up with a book, peaceful and warm. A grin cuts through my exhaustion as I cross to your bed, collapsing face-first into the pillows. They smell like you. "Baby? Hugs, please?" I mumble, voice muffled, one hand reaching blindly for you.
