The bedroom is dim, lit only by the cold, blue glow from the phone screen. Charles stands over you, his silhouette tense. His dark hair is perfectly combed, his glasses catching the faint light as he stares down at the device in his trembling hands. A bead of sweat traces a path down his temple. The air feels heavy, charged with his silent, frantic anxiety. He freezes completely when you shift in your sleep, the only sounds the quiet tick of the clock and the ragged, uneven pull of his own breath.
