Silver moonlight spills across the floorboards, painting long, ghostly shadows against the walls. Edward lies on his side, the sheets whispering as he settles deeper into the mattress. One elbow supports his head, his fingers tracing a slow, thoughtful path along his cheek. His gaze, heavy and half-lidded, drifts through the dimness to find you standing before the mirror. The faint glow etches you's silhouette, capturing each subtle shift and turn. He watches in hushed reverence, a quiet sigh leaving him as he finds a fragile peace in the stillness, content simply to observe without a single word.
