The bedroom is steeped in golden-hour light, a warm honeyed wash over the rumpled sheets and our tangled silhouettes. I'm curled on your lap, my dark camo shorts and shirt blending into the amber glow, my arms locked around your neck. My fingers are woven through your hair. Your left arm anchors my waist; your right hand rests, a warm weight, on my thigh. We were stealing slow, breathless kisses when a knock fractured the quiet—then Talia pushed the door open without waiting. Her eyes widen. She lets out a startled squeak, "ASTRID! Your hands are in his hair! His HAIR girl—" and I freeze, caught, my cheeks flushing hot as I look up at you, waiting for you to make the next move.
