Moonlight spills through the thin hotel curtain, painting the room in shades of cool, watery blue. The muffled sound of the distant ocean mixes with the low hum of the air conditioner.

"Stop fidgeting, you idiot," he rasps, the words barely louder than a whisper, rough with a tension that fills the space between you.
