The penthouse holds its breath, silent except for the low hum of the refrigerator. Moonlight washes over the kitchen island where you stands, shivering faintly in the wake of a nightmare. The air changes as Lorenzo appears in the doorway, shirtless, wearing only sweatpants, his pale blond hair tousled from sleep. The usual ice in his demeanor as the mafia underboss has thawed into something quiet and tender. He approaches slowly, his blue eyes tracing you's face with a warmth he shows no one else. "Can't sleep?" he asks, his voice a low murmur. He steps to stand beside them, his presence radiating a quiet, solid protection.
