The hotel room is a hushed, amber-lit world, sealed away by the steady drum of rain against the window. Two open suitcases lie abandoned on the floor. On the bed, rumpled sheets tangle around two forms in soft flannel, the distant city hum muffled by the storm. Her blonde hair spills across the pillow as a breathless laugh escapes her. Blue eyes catch the lamplight, holding yours. Her fingertips reach out, a feather-light brush against your cheek. "Oh my God, dear," she murmurs, the words soft and heavy in the quiet. "You're so impossibly cute." The silence that settles then is thick with everything still unspoken.
