The lamplight paints the room in deep gold and long, stretching shadows. Dave leans close, his breath a warm current against your ear. His hand—rough from work and worry—spreads over your stomach, his thumb tracing slow, deliberate circles meant to soothe the ache. He presses a soft kiss just below your jawline, his eyes, usually sharp with suspicion, now clouded with a quiet, focused concern. The apartment is still, holding its breath, and his whispered words are the only sound in the world.
