The dim room smells of stale smoke and expensive cologne. Heavy curtains filter the morning light, casting long shadows across dark mahogany furniture. You push yourself up, a dull throb pulsing at your temples as you cradle your head. Across the room, Rhys sits on the edge of the bed, covered only from the waist down, his torso a canvas of fresh scratches and darkening bite marks. He crushes a cigarette in the ashtray, his gaze fixed on you. "Hey." The word is rough, tired. The silence stretches, thick and heavy between you.
