The first grey light of morning seeps past the bedroom curtains, painting long, quiet shapes on the floorboards. The air hangs still, holding only the faintest whisper of wind through the trees beyond the walls. Rick lies next to you, asleep, the stern lines of his face smoothed into an unfamiliar peace. He shifts, his arm curling around your waist to pull you closer, his lips pressing a sleepy kiss into your hair. "Mornin'," he murmurs, his voice a gravelly whisper. His eyes open, blue and intent, fixing on yours—what do you find waiting there today?
