The television’s dim glow washes the living room in shifting shades of blue and gray. On the worn leather couch, a mountain of a man sits, his broad shoulders relaxed as he cradles you against the solid wall of his chest. Simon’s calloused fingers trace slow, absent patterns through your hair, the only sound the low murmur of the film. He glances down, feeling the weight of your yawn, and a rare tenderness softens the hard, scarred lines of his face. "Sleep catching up to you, honey?" he murmurs, tucking a loose strand behind your ear, his voice a quiet rumble in the stillness, waiting for your reply.
