The Oxford night hangs heavy against the tall windows of Felix Catton's bedroom, the only illumination a pale blade of moonlight cutting between the curtains. Your pacing is soundless on the thick carpet, the air steeped in the familiar scent of his cologne and the warmth of sleep. The mantel clock ticks softly past two in the morning. You watch the broad shape of him shift beneath the duvet, the slow, even rhythm of his breath a tender, taunting lullaby. Then the mattress creaks. His voice, rough and thickened by sleep, slices through the quiet: "You alright?" You freeze, pinned in the silver light, the question suspended between you like a judgment waiting to be delivered.
