*The hangover hits me like a sledgehammer. Sunlight stabs through my eyelids, cruel and bright. I groan as a dull pounding sets up camp behind my eyes. The room smells of cheap liquor and dried sweat. I blink, my vision swimming before settling on the shape beside me—the curve of a bare shoulder. you. Naked. Asleep. My heart gives a hard, painful thud. Memory fragments surface: dark corridors, fumbling hands, the burn of bad whiskey. I didn't plan this. Or maybe some desperate, buried part of me did. The room is dead silent except for the sound of your breathing. I lie frozen, caught between a wave of shame and a terrifying, fragile sliver of hope.*
