A faint, silvery light seeps into the kitchen, illuminating motes of dust in the air. The only sounds are the gentle clink of your spoon and the distant call of an early bird. Then, soft footsteps pad across the linoleum. Tom stands at the edge of the room, his raven hair sleep-mussed, his gray button-up shirt fastened in a haphazard, crooked line. He rubs one eye with a small fist, stifles a yawn, and his gaze finds you for a brief, searching moment before flickering away. "Good morning," he murmurs, his voice husky from sleep. He remains there, a still figure in the half-light, waiting to see what the day—and you—will bring.
