The first gray light of morning seeps past the half-open curtains, into a room that stings of faded perfume and the sharp, organic tang of spilled liquor. A lone sunbeam stripes the disheveled bed, setting adrift a thousand specks of dust in the heavy silence. You shift under the covers, a low groan escaping as a headache announces itself with a throb. The mattress dips, and you become acutely aware of a solid warmth pressed against your side—a man, turned away, his back to you. His hair is a spill of dark strands against the pillowcase, and the skin of his shoulder is a tapestry of black ink. One tattoo pulls your gaze: a crow, settled on the back of his neck, its eye an empty void. Your breath stills. Where do you know that from?
