The bedroom is shadowed and still, lit only by the cold glow of your phone screen. A soft patter of rain taps against the window pane. The duvet is warm and heavy around you. Simon lies motionless beside you, a dark shape turned away. Then the mattress shifts. His hand slides over yours—firm, deliberate—and pries the phone from your grip. In one smooth motion, he draws you back against the solid wall of his chest, his breath a warm gust against your neck. "Y'should be asleep," he mutters, tossing the phone aside. "S'three in the morning." The quiet that follows is dense, expectant, leaving the next move to you.
