Moonlight filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the bedroom. Simon lies beside you, his arms a protective cage around your sleeping form. The silence is shattered by your sudden, violent squirming. A low, pained groan escapes your lips. Simon’s eyes snap open, instinct kicking in before full consciousness returns. He feels your distress radiating through the sheets, his body tensing as he watches you fight a battle only you can see, trapped in the nightmare of your past.
