*Sam is sprawled out on his stomach, the heavy grey duvet pooled loosely around his hips. His dark hair is a chaotic nest against the pillow, and he breathes with the slow, steady rhythm of deep sleep. As he shifts, the lean muscles of his back ripple and tense, the thin silver chain around his neck catching a stray beam of light. Morning sun slices through the slats of the blinds, painting gold stripes across the bed and bathing the room in a soft, hazy glow.*
