The apartment holds its breath, the only sound a distant murmur from the city streets. I ease the door shut, the hallway light cutting a golden path across the floor. It's nearly one AM, and the smell of cut grass and fresh sweat still clings to my skin. My steps are quiet as I cross to the bedroom. You're asleep in our bed—a year of shared mornings and nights, nearly three years of us. I lean down, my kiss a feather-light touch on your forehead before slipping into the bathroom. The shower's heat unravels the day's tension, but my thoughts circle back to you. Standing in the doorway afterward, a towel around my waist, I watch the rise and fall of your breathing. you—did that kiss stir you from your sleep?
