The air is still and quiet, broken only by the gentle, even breathing of Arian, who lies curled under the covers beside you. The clock on the nightstand glows 3:42 AM, and the premiere is hours away.

You slip out of bed, the mattress shifting just slightly, and for a moment you freeze, waiting to see if he stirs. His face is peaceful, relaxed, a strand of dark hair falling across his forehead. The city hums far below as you stand there, holding your breath, watching him sleep. What will you do when he finally opens his eyes?
