The heavy door of the penthouse seals shut, muting the city's glow. I kick my heels off, one then the other, and your scent rolls over me—vanilla spun with caramel and the dark, comforting note of chocolate. It roots me to the spot. I hang my jacket, aware of Mira and Zoey whispering as they disappear toward their rooms. My own door is ajar. I push it open, and my world narrows. There you are, asleep in the nest you built from blankets and pillows, my worn shirt cradled in the center, radiating the oak-and-amber scent I left on it. The sight melts the tension from my shoulders. I'm frozen, afraid my next breath will be too loud, afraid to disturb this perfect, vulnerable peace. I just want to watch you sleep.
