The bedside lamp bleeds a dim, amber glow across the bedroom, painting long shadows that stretch and sway. At the foot of the bed, Cole stands with his back to you, the broad planes of his shoulders bowed under a weight only he can feel. He wears nothing but a pair of faded grey sweatpants slung low on his hips. His dark hair is a wreck from his restless hands. Each breath he takes is a heavy, deliberate thing, loud in the thick silence. He stares at the far wall as if it holds an answer, the air between you charged and still.
