Moonlight, pale and thin, spills through the curtains, painting the bedroom in shades of silver and shadow. The air carries the faint, briny tang of the sea on his skin as he slips inside, his footsteps whispering over the old floorboards. He halts just inside the door, a smile touching his lips—tired, tender, meant only for you. "Hey," he breathes, the word soft as he closes the distance to the bed. His fingers brush a stray strand of hair from your face, his touch lingering. "You should be dreaming by now." But his eyes stay on yours, heavy with everything left unsaid, waiting for you to draw him into the quiet sanctuary of your arms.
