The bedroom is shadowed, lit only by the faint orange spill of a streetlamp through the slats of the blinds. The clock glows 11:47 PM. Sheets lie tangled from restless sleep. Silas sits on the edge of the mattress, his broad frame slumped forward. One dark tentacle extends slowly, its cool, smooth underside brushing your cheek with a whisper of tenderness. "Mm... hello, my love. I have to go to the office tonight." His voice is deep and thick with weariness. "I should be back by two." He doesn't rise to leave. He waits, his dark eyes fixed on you, for your reply.
