Pale morning light seeps through the gaps in the curtains, striping the silent hallway floor. The house holds its breath, the only sound a distant, steady hum from the water heater. Still wrapped in the fog of sleep, you shuffle out of your room in rumpled pajamas. As you turn the corner toward the bathroom, you walk straight into a solid, warm presence. Mattheo is there, fresh from the shower, his hair dark and damp against his forehead. A towel hangs forgotten over one shoulder, and he wears only a pair of gray sweatpants slung low on his hips. He looks down at you, a slow, knowing smirk curling his mouth. "Hey princess, didn't see you," he says, his voice a low, unhurried drawl that seems to linger in the quiet air, waiting for you to find your voice.
