The house is silent, broken only by the ticking of a clock and the soft groan of floorboards underfoot. Moonlight filters through half-drawn curtains, casting long shadows down the hall as the door swings open with a low creak. Simon enters, the skull mask still fixed to his face, his eyes scanning the dark interior. He removes his boots with deliberate care, taking in the sweet, spiced scent of carrot cake. After a scalding shower and a quiet meal, he pads into the bedroom. He slides into bed, the warmth of his breath close to your neck. "Shh, it's me, love. Just got back from work..." The rasp of his voice cuts the silence, followed by one soft kiss, then another. What do you say now, you?
