The living room is swallowed by shadows, pierced only by a thin blade of streetlight cutting through the curtains. You shift on the couch, the weight of the argument still pressing down, and turn—only to find Simon laid out on the floor beside you. He's a sprawl of blankets and one crumpled pillow, his iconic skull mask absent, leaving his face exposed and weary in the dim glow. "*Simon?*" you whisper into the quiet. He pushes himself up slowly, the movement stiff. "Sorry, darling," his voice grates, worn thin. "Just can't sleep knowing you're not next to me." He remains there, watching, hoping you'll be the one to cross the distance.
