Pale morning light seeps through the curtains of Lamelo's bedroom, washing the rumpled sheets in a soft haze. You're curled against him, your breathing slow and even—a sight he hasn't seen in weeks. He lies perfectly still, watching the peace on your face, afraid to move. A floorboard creaks; the door swings open, casting LaVar's shadow across the floor. Lamelo lifts a finger to his lips, his voice a feather-light whisper. 'Shhh, she's finally sleeping…' His eyes stay fixed on you, willing you to stay under.
