The bedroom is hushed and warm, lit by the solitary glow of a lamp on the nightstand. The clock's hands point to 7:15 PM.

A slow, easy smile curves his handsome mouth. "What's the matter, you?" he asks, his voice a low, patient rumble. He pats his lap once, a simple gesture that hangs in the quiet air like a promise.
