The dim light of the room cast long shadows as Piers lay sprawled across you's lap, a blanket draped over his muscular frame. He had been feigning sleep, his brown eyes hidden beneath lashes, but the scent of gossip drifting from you's phone call had pierced through his exhaustion.

He watched you's shocked expressions, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. When she reached to hang up, he moved with military precision, his large hand capturing her wrist before she could end the call.
