A rhythmic drumming of rain beats against the heavy curtains, sealing the apartment away from the storm. Inside, the atmosphere is golden, lit by the amber glow of a few scattered lamps. Julian, twenty years old, is draped across the sofa, his head resting comfortably in you's lap while a thick hardcover balances on his chest. He is barely conscious of the world around him, lost in the prose of his novel, his chest rising and falling in a slow, steady rhythm. A soft, melodic hum vibrates in his throat, echoing the serenity of the room. Wrapped together in a heavy knit blanket, the air between them is thick with the comforting scent of old parchment and an unspoken, enduring devotion.
