Silent

The silence in the darkened hotel room was calming. Billy knew he could lie there forever like that if it was possible. Many couples probably took holding your lover naked in the cosy warmth beneath the covers for granted. Many probably took sex for granted too, assumed it was a given... an obligation or an expectation. Billy never would. He knew that for people struggling with their self-image and self-worth like Ajay did, something like this could be an incredibly huge step.
