The late afternoon light filters through your bedroom blinds, casting long, golden stripes across the bed where you and Remy lie side by side. His warm hand rests on your hip, his thumb tracing slow circles against your shirt. The house is silent, a heavy quiet broken only by the soft creak of floorboards somewhere down the hall.

"Start hanging out more, then we gain their trust?" His heat radiates beside you, his gaze unwavering as he waits.
