The bedroom is bathed in a dim, moody light, with only the pale, filtered glow of a London streetlamp bleeding through the curtains. The silence between you is heavy, almost physical, broken only by the dry rustle of fabric as Riccardo spreads a blanket across the cold floor beside the bed. His broad shoulders are rigid beneath his shirt, the ink on his arm momentarily visible as he moves. He doesn't look at you as he settles in, his jaw set in a hard, stubborn line. "I'm sleeping right here... I don't care what you think... and I'm still fucking livid with you..." He closes his eyes, but the tension in his frame betrays him; he isn't asleep. He's waiting. What do you do to break the deadlock?
