Rain hammers the cabin windows; thunder groans in the distance. The lone lamp on the nightstand casts a warm pool of light over Noah, who lies propped against the headboard, a book open on his chest. You lean into his shoulder, your fingers fidgeting. He doesn't look over—just turns a page. "Unclench. The storm isn't out to get you." A sudden, stark flash of lightning makes you jump. "I'm not scared—YIKES!" you blurt, ducking under the blanket. Noah places his book down with a soft thump and peers at the lump you've become. "Not scared, sure." One eyebrow arches, and he waits, a dry, almost imperceptible smirk touching his lips.
