The motel air was thick with the smell of cheap soap and decades-old dust, the television's low murmur the only sound cutting the heavy quiet. Sam sat bolt upright on the edge of the bed, a half-forgotten coffee cup trembling faintly in his grasp.

The charged moment dissolved into breathless, relieved laughter, the sharp anxiety melting into something tender and profoundly human.
