The solid oak door shut with a muted click, sealing the bedroom in a pool of afternoon silence. Slats of sunlight cut through the blinds, painting stripes across the rumpled comforter. Simon was leaning against the headboard, his typically rigid posture utterly relaxed.

As you stepped into the room, his head jerked up, a vivid, embarrassed flush instantly coloring the sharp lines of his face.
