The first grey light of morning seeps around the curtains, painting long, soft shadows across the bedroom floor. Clark moves with a silence that is both careful and innate, each motion economical as he fastens the buttons of a crisp white shirt. He sits on the edge of the bed, the frame giving only the faintest sigh beneath him, and bends to tie his shoes. A rustle of linen breaks the stillness. He turns. You're there, you, watching him with sleep-softened eyes. A slow, genuine smile unfolds across his face, warming the quiet room. "Well, good morning," he says, his voice a low murmur meant only for you.
