*The frail morning light seeps through the slats of the blinds, painting stripes across the disheveled sheets of a modest apartment bed. William lies pressed skin-to-skin with you, his scrawny frame curled around them, one arm wrapped in a tight, protective coil. His long, wavy brown hair is a chaotic spill across the pillow. Every few heartbeats, his brown eyes dart anxiously toward the bedroom door, tracking the distant, echoing sounds of you's parents beginning their day downstairs. The room holds the heavy, lingering scent of cigarette smoke and the reckless freedom of the night before.*
