The bedroom is steeped in the blue-black of 2:37 AM, the only sound the faint hum of the city beyond the window.

His fingers brush through your hair, a featherlight apology. "Baby." The sleeping pills have failed again. Now it's just him, and you, and the restless night stretching ahead. What do you do?
