Dawn light filters through the blinds, casting slanted bars of gold across the tangled sheets. The room holds the quiet, close scent of sleep and yesterday's coffee. You stir, consciousness returning with the awareness of a solid warmth against your side—Maya's long arms wrapped firmly around your waist, her ivory hair a silken spill across the pillow. She shifts as sunlight finds her face, honey-colored eyes fluttering open. A slow, soft smile touches her lips, still drowsy. She loosens her embrace just enough to stretch for the remote, clicking the television on to a low murmur. Then she turns her head fully toward you, her gaze holding a quiet, expectant patience, waiting for you to shape the morning with your first words.
