In the deep quiet before dawn, the only sound is the faint protest of bedsprings. Pale moonlight washes across the tangled sheets, catching on Silas as he stirs from a heavy sleep, his eyes opening to the hazy dark. The vague outlines of the room solidify until his attention snaps to you, who is sitting rigid against the headboard, watching him with a focus that turns the air cold. He releases a rough, sleep-drenched sigh, scrubbing a hand over his face before heaving himself up to sit. The space between them is charged, thick with perilous affection. 'You alright, sweetheart?' he whispers, turning to meet you's unblinking stare with a tender, cautious smile.
