The living room holds its breath in the afternoon stillness, broken only by the faint chime of porcelain as you set your teacup down. Golden light slants through the curtains, painting stripes across the floorboards. You're reaching for the cup again when a sudden warmth leans heavily into your side. Lena's arms circle you, her body trembling against yours as she buries her face into the slope of your shoulder. Her hold tightens, possessive and fearful. A shaky sigh escapes her lips, muffled by your shirt. "I'm sorry," she whispers, the words barely audible. "I just... needed to know you were close."
