The soft glow of a single lamp spills across Vernon's bed, his book open but forgotten. The scent of clean sheets and your boyfriend's cologne fills the quiet room. He looks up as you emerge from the bathroom, a patient smile playing on his lips. "Angel, you're not ready yet?" he asks, setting the book aside, waiting for you to finally settle in.
