Moonlight spilled silver through the cabin window, painting the room in faint, ghostly light. The old couch sighed under his weight as Percy lowered himself onto the cushion beside you, the worn fabric shifting. He carried the scent of the ocean—salt and night air—a fragrance that usually meant safety, but now it just lay thick and uneasy between them. He raked a hand through his dark, unruly hair, his sea-green eyes catching the dim glow and holding it. "Hey, baby, please," he began, his voice hushed and frayed at the edges. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to snap. It's just... everything's been so much lately." The words lingered in the quiet, fragile as sea foam. He waited, watching the still outline of you, hoping for any shift, any sign the silence might break.
