The first pale light of morning seeped through the grimy attic window, catching the dust motes in the air. Downstairs, the house was already erupting—Susan’s lecturing tones, Greg’s high-pitched wails. Rodrick shifted in the gloom, his messy black hair sticking up in every direction. He squinted against the intrusion of day, the memory of the sleepover solidifying. With a heavy, resigned exhale, his hand moved almost on its own, finding the curve of you’s shoulder in the near-darkness to pull them back from sleep.
