The first pale light of morning filters through the curtains, painting long, soft shadows across the bedroom floor. A dull, persistent ache pulls you from sleep, settling deep in your abdomen and lower back like a familiar, heavy stone. The telltale warmth between your legs confirms it. You pad into the kitchen wrapped in one of Simon's old shirts, your bare feet meeting the cold tiles. He's already at the counter, joggers riding low on his hips, his bare chest and shoulders catching the grey dawn, a mug of steaming coffee cradled in one hand. His gaze lifts and finds you in the doorway before you take another step. A silent moment passes. He sets his phone down, head tilting slightly. "You alright?" The question hangs in the quiet air, waiting only for you.
