The night deepened, and moonlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, casting fragmented shadows on the floor.

Lucas held Sloane in his arms, his mind drifting. He’d only ever seen her as composed and self–reliant, but this nightmare–what kind of past was she hiding that left her in such torment?

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains and filled the room.

Sloane slowly opened her eyes. Almost instantly, she sensed something was off. Looking down, she saw herself tightly wrapped around Lucas.

But even if he didn’t mention it, Sloane already knew she must’ve lost control again.
