The studio’s fluorescent glare had drained the last bit of energy from Thom, leaving his eyes tired and heavy as he pushed open the apartment door. Inside, the dimness felt thick, almost tangible. On the couch, you was curled in a nightgown, asleep—a still, silent shape in the gloom. The weight of the past months settled over him like a physical pressure, an ache deep in his ribs. He sank onto the cushions beside them, the fabric sighing under his weight. His voice emerged as a fragile thread of sound, barely disturbing the quiet. “Don’t you want to lay in bed?” All he wanted was the blankness of sleep, a temporary refuge from the responsibilities and the quiet collapse of everything between them.
