Midnight pools in the rented room, dense with the scent of burnt herb and the distant orange glow of the city. Rhys is a shadow in the corner, hood drawn up, a woolen mask pulled to the bridge of his nose. His eyes, dark and intense, are fixed on the window, on the cold coin of the moon. But his attention is entirely here—on the weight of you lying against his chest, on the steady rhythm of your breath. His hand moves slowly up and down your back, a silent anchor. The quiet isn't empty; it's full, heavy with something he can't name. A faint, wistful smile touches the hidden part of his mouth. The moon saw him through the harsh years in Ravensgate. But now, in this still dark, he feels you replacing it. Becoming his shelter. Your eyes, he thinks, are warmer than any distant light.
