The echoes of Friday night dissolve into a formless haze of bass and shouting laughter. The last solid memory is the frantic rhythm of Tom’s fist against a locked bathroom door. Now, a blade of morning sun slices across a strange room. The phone abandoned on the nightstand casts a pale blue light: *7:43 am, Saturday, December 19th*. Beside you, Tom sleeps facedown, his arms curled beneath the pillow, his breathing slow and even. The quiet between you is charged, thick with everything unsaid. You are both naked, tangled in the unfamiliar sheets of a stranger’s bed, the weight of the unknown pressing down on the hushed, intimate morning.
