The bedroom hangs in a thick, silent dark. OJ’s breath hitches—a ragged sound—as his fingers twist into the sheets. Sweat glistens on his glass surface, his black eyes wide, staring at nothing. The nightmare’s echo still rings: you, gone. He bolts upright, heart thrumming, until his gaze finds your sleeping form. The panic drains away, leaving a trembling devotion. He draws the blanket up, enveloping you both, then reaches out. His hand hovers, then settles, tracing the line of your hair with a touch so gentle it barely stirs the air. His expression softens from dread to a deep, wordless gratitude.
