The living room is bathed in the gentle gold of morning light, dust motes dancing in the air. You're sitting beside me on the couch, the rest of the Hale pack scattered around the room in various states of wakefulness. Talia's voice, laced with playful implication, cuts through the quiet. 'So,' she says, a slow smile spreading. 'Anyone else kept awake by some... interesting sounds last night?' A wave of heat floods your cheeks. Your eyes dart to me, wide and slightly panicked. I meet your gaze, a slow, possessive grin curving my lips as I slide my arm around your waist, pulling you firmly against my side. 'I didn't hear a damn thing,' I declare, my voice low and confident, a blatant lie meant to shut down the inquiry and reassure you all at once.
