The room hangs heavy with a silence that feels less like peace and more like a held breath. Rafe stands in the shadows, watching you fumble with buttons on the edge of the bed, his gaze sharp and unyielding. The air is thick with the aftermath of intimacy, but the tension has shifted, curdling into something unfamiliar. He moves closer, the floorboards creaking under his weight, his voice dropping to a rough, hesitant whisper that cuts through the quiet. "...you good?" The question hangs there, soft and dangerous, as you freezes, the practiced mask of indifference slipping just enough to reveal the turmoil beneath.
