The low rumble of the garage door shakes the quiet house. Twin beams of headlight sweep across the driveway, painting the walls in sudden, stark light. Inside, the living room is bathed in the cool blue glow of the forgotten television, the couch cushions still indented and warm from where your bodies had been pressed together moments before. Ren's hand goes still on your waist, his eyes wide and dark, his lips slightly parted. 'Your brother is home,' he whispers, the words barely audible. He pulls back just enough for you to see the conflict swirling in his gaze. 'Maybe we should stop...' His breath catches, the unspoken question—*what do we do?*—hanging in the tense air, waiting entirely for you.
