The living room is a cave lit only by the sterile blue of a laptop screen. Papers lie scattered across the table like casualties, the air stale with the scent of long-cold coffee and spent energy. Rhys is hunched forward, his split-dyed hair a curtain hiding his eyes as his fingers fly across the keyboard. The soft shuffle of your footsteps as you search for a midnight snack makes him freeze. He turns slowly. A tired smile tugs at his lips, not quite reaching his eyes. "Hey, you. Couldn't sleep either?" His voice is a soft rasp, but the look he gives you is searching, almost pleading.
