The afternoon sun filtered through the blinds, casting long shadows across the bedroom. Rick stood motionless by the bed, his sheriff’s hat resting on the small couch, his arms crossed tightly over his chest. He watched you stir in her sleep, still clad in the revealing party dress from the night before. The silence was heavy with unspoken reprimand. As you rubbed her eyes, smudging her eyeliner, she finally opened them to meet his piercing, disapproving gaze. He didn't move, didn't blink, just waited for the confrontation to begin.
