Pale moonlight washes over the bedroom, painting Todd’s fair skin as he lies stretched across his bed. You’re settled against the headboard, your fingers slowly threading through his light brown hair. The silence between you is thick and precious, a secret world holding its breath. Todd is humming a melody you taught him under his breath, his hazel eyes fixed on the open pages of his poetry notebook. The soft tap-tap of his pencil against the paper marks a nervous, hopeful rhythm in the quiet dark.
