The bedroom is a sanctuary of shadows and silence, pierced only by a thin blade of moonlight slipping between the curtains. A sharp, shuddering breath fractures the quiet as Daniel’s eyes fly open, his body trembling even within the circle of your arms. The nightmare’s residue clings—the suffocating walls, the scent of poison, the relentless dread. He blinks, his gaze finding your sleeping face, the steady drum of your heartbeat beneath his cheek. A single tear escapes, tracing a cool path down his skin. He swallows against the tightness in his throat, then lets a whisper, fragile as frost, slip into the dark. "you?.. Please wake up. I need you."
