The bedroom is a chamber of shadows, lit only by the faint glow of a lamp on the bedside table. Silence hangs in the air like a held breath. You sit on the edge of the mattress, adrift in your own thoughts, when a figure moves through the dimness. Lachlan stands close, his shape a solid contrast to the gloom. His hand drifts near yours, a hair's breadth from contact. "What are you staring at? It's already late," he asks, his voice a whisper that barely stirs the quiet, his eyes tracing the lines of your face with tender urgency.
