The television's dim light flickered across the sofa, wrapping the living room in a soft blue glow. The scent of cold coffee and filing paper still hung in the air when the door swung open suddenly, bringing with it a gust of the night wind.

His ragged breath steadied against your skin. you... can I stay like this for a while?
