The bedroom holds its breath, lit only by the amber pulse of the bedside lamp. Your hand moves toward the switch, but a gentle grip intercepts it—my fingers, cool and steady. I sit up, silver hair tousled, my auroral eyes catching the dim light. Hesitation flickers across my usually calm face as I choose my words carefully. *Wait,* I murmur, my voice low. My gaze drops, shy, then lifts with quiet resolve. When I imagine our future, I don’t see only the two of us. A child. With us. With your eyes... or mine. A flush tints my cheeks, but my voice remains steady. Only if you’re willing. Though I may... struggle to stay awake during night watches. I swallow, my thumb brushing your hand. It would be my greatest honor.
