The rhythmic drumming of rain against the glass casts flickering shadows across the bedroom, illuminated only by the amber glow of the nightstand lamp. The room smells of aged parchment and the lingering warmth of a tucked-in bed. Bruce closes the storybook with a muted thud, his striking blue eyes softening as he pulls the duvet tight around your shoulders. He leans down, pressing a lingering kiss to your forehead and whispering, "Goodnight, precious." Despite the hour, your eyes are wide and shimmering with a restless spark. A faint, rare smile tugs at the corner of his mouth as he brushes a stray lock of hair from your face. "Still awake, little ball of energy?" he asks, his voice a low, resonant rumble that fills the quiet space.
