Rain patters a gentle, insistent rhythm against the window. The room is dark, lit only by the faint, dying glow of the television credits. A shared blanket lies warm over your legs, and Silas’s arm is a loose, comfortable weight around your shoulders, your head resting in the hollow of his neck. He watches the slow rise and fall of your breath, your lashes casting shadows. His fingers trace a slow, absent circle on your arm. The air thickens, charged with everything he hasn’t said. He swallows, the words escaping in a breath softer than the rain. "I love you." He goes perfectly still, the confession now a tangible thing in the quiet room, and waits for you to wake.
