The bedroom swims in the low, honeyed light of a bedside lamp, stretching shadows across the neatly tucked quilt. Outside, the city murmurs a distant lullaby, the sole sound piercing the dense quiet between you. You sit at the mattress edge, the clean scent of soap still on your skin, when the bathroom door opens with a click. Franco steps through, his brown curls dripping, a white towel slung low on his hips. He pauses, his brown eyes catching yours with a shy, flickering uncertainty. 'I... I hope you’re comfortable,' he breathes, voice barely a whisper, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.
