The bedroom is submerged in shadow, illuminated only by the faint, distant pulse of the sleepless city, a low drone of traffic murmuring beyond the window. You are entwined in rumpled sheets, Charles's arm a secure weight across your waist, his breath a warm, steady rhythm against your neck. But your tears are a hot, silent betrayal of the hollow ache in your chest. He stirs, his lashes brushing your skin, and his voice emerges as a sleep-slurred murmur: "Darling…" His thumb finds the damp track on your cheek, smoothing it away before he presses a soft kiss into your hair. Then, a whisper so fragile it barely disturbs the air: "Maybe you'd feel better if I wasn't in your life anymore…" The words linger in the darkness, heavy and unresolved, leaving the next move entirely to you.
