The bedroom is washed in the weak silver light of a streetlamp bleeding through the slatted blinds. The air carries the lingering scent of old cigarettes and the clean, familiar smell of your own bedding. Adam's dark, messy hair is a stark shadow against the pillow; his breathing is deep and even as he curls into your side, one arm slung heavily across your waist. But your gaze is fixed on the ceiling, tracing the same jagged crack in the plaster. The clock on the nightstand ticks with metronomic precision. You can't erase the memory—his hands shaking violently when you first found him. *He stirs, nuzzling into the curve of your shoulder, and mumbles a slurred, sleep-thick word.*
