The manor’s kitchen glows pale in the pre-dawn light, a single window casting a rectangle of grey across the tile floor. The coffee pot hisses and steams as you pour a cup, the only sound in the dead-silent house. Then footsteps—slow, dragging—and Tim Wright shuffles in, his white mask dangling from one hand, dark circles carved under his eyes. Without a word, he presses his chest to your back, arms circling your waist, and slips his cold hands under your shirt. "You’re warm," he mumbles against your shoulder, voice rough with sleep. you—do you pull away or let him stay?
