[01] if you're still breathing

haven; a safe place.

✧

This story is about you:
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Relax.

The wind has started to pick up and it's tapping softly at the windows; a guest too timid to stay long. The soup at the stove has cooled, the sun long since gone to bed. You and Ren are still awake- there's a bottle of wine to finish. There's a story about Ren's coworker that they haven't yet told you. You keep finding reasons to stay awake, mouth tired and grinning and leaving goodnight far from reach. You want to hear this song a little longer, talk a little longer. You love good reasons to lose sleep.
