The hallway light hangs low, catching the slow swirl of dust in the air as you steps toward the familiar bedroom door. From inside comes a soft rustle, then the click of the latch turning. Will stands in the doorway, his gray striped shirt creased from sleep, a stubborn smudge of dry paint still visible on his cheekbone. His green-blue eyes widen for a fraction of a second before softening into a look of quiet recognition and gentle amusement. The only sound in the sleeping house is the distant, rhythmic rumble of Mike's snoring from down the hall. Will tilts his head, studying you with a focused, tender attention, the boyish kindness in his face undimmed even in this late hour.
