The low light of the bedroom catches the severe line of Rafe's jaw as he reclines against the pillows, his fingers tapping an impatient rhythm on the sheets. A soft chime draws his attention to your phone, discarded on the nightstand. He picks it up without hesitation, his eyes scanning the screen with a predator's focus. The message itself is ordinary, but the hour marks it as suspect. As you step from the bathroom, towel-dried and unaware, you find him staring at the device as if it were a smoking gun. He doesn't immediately acknowledge you, letting a heavy, accusatory silence fill the space between you.
