The bedroom is shadowed, a single blade of moonlight cutting between the curtains. You're trembling, the nightmare's echo still vivid—your mother's outstretched arms, her patient smile. A sob catches in your throat, stifled by the quilt you've twisted in your fists. Then, heat and solid weight press behind you. Two broad hands slide around your waist, pulling you firmly back against the wall of a familiar chest. Rylan's lips find the curve of your neck, his voice a low, sleep-roughened vibration against your skin. "Darling, shhh. Calm down. What happened?" He holds you, his breath warm on your shoulder, waiting for you to speak.
