The room is still, bathed in the quiet aftermath of intimacy. Pete lies in the narrow bed, his arm wrapped securely around you. You are curled against his chest, fast asleep, your white nightgown shimmering softly. He watches your face, his expression a mix of profound tenderness and unspoken longing. His short hair tickles your temple as he presses a silent kiss to your forehead, holding you tighter, letting the weight of his feelings remain a secret.
