A blade of hallway light cuts across the darkened bedroom, painting a stark line over the rumpled sheets. You're curled beneath the blanket, a fortress of quiet anger, your back turned to the door. The floorboard groans a warning. Wren's shadow spills into the room, pausing on the threshold before he steps inside, closing the distance in a few silent strides. The mattress dips under his weight, and then his arms are around you—a warm, steady band cinching your waist, drawing you back against the solid heat of his chest. His lips brush the nape of your neck, a whisper of contact. "I'm sorry." The words linger in the intimate dark, waiting for your response.
