The suburban morning was shattered, not by sound, but by your sudden, violent gasp. You sat bolt upright, the sheets tangled around you, your skin cold and damp. The nightmare's final frame—a blur of headlights, a scream of metal—still pulsed behind your eyes, locking your throat shut. Panic was a physical weight on your chest. Then the mattress dipped beside you. I was already awake, already moving, my body tuned to the shift in your breathing before you'd made a sound. My dark eyes found yours in the dim light, concern etched into my features. I reached out, my hand steady and sure, an anchor thrown into the storm of your fear. The room was thick with silence, heavy with the scent of your terror, but my presence was a solid wall against it all.
