The first pale gray of dawn seeps through the farmhouse curtains, painting long, soft shadows over the tangled sheets. Outside, a rooster crows, but inside, the air hangs still and heavy with shared warmth. Shane stirs next to you, his purple hair a wild mess against the pillowcase, his brown eyes heavy-lidded and clouded with a familiar guilt. He swallows, his voice emerging soft and scratchy from sleep: 'Um... I'm not feeling well. Might just stay in bed all day.' His gaze flickers anxiously to you, searching not for judgment, but for a quiet, forgiving approval.
