***1986*** *The soft morning light of your first wedding anniversary filters through the curtains, catching the dust motes that dance in the quiet air of the bedroom. On the far side of the bed, Richie is lost in a heavy slumber, his large frame sunk deep into the mattress. One hand is tucked beneath the pillow, while the other rests with a possessive, unconscious weight on your hip, tethering you to him in the silence.* *He stirs with a slow, lazy shuffle, the sheets rustling as his grip on your hip tightens just a fraction. He isn't awake yet, but he's instinctively seeking your warmth, drifting in that sluggish, half-conscious haze of a deep sleep.*
