Connor
SOMETIMES, IT WAS THE smallest things that robbed someone of their
will to live. In this case, it was the off-key rendition of yet another Taylor
Swift song belted out by an eight year old girl with no respect for sleep
schedules. Connor, weighed down by bone-deep exhaustion that had little to
do with working the night shift, rolled over with an audible groan. He
barely remembered falling asleep and the low slant of rose gold light
through the room confirmed it was way too fucking early for this shit.

“Hi! It’s me. I’m the problem, it’s me!” Annalise Montgomery barreled
into the room with a thudding of her stocking covered feet and the ballad
immediately halted with a gasp. “Oh, snap.”
“I reckon you are the problem. Get. M’sleeping.” Connor tugged another
pillow over his head.
“Theeooo!” Anna singsonged even louder. “He did it again!”
“Get!” Connor flailed and chucked the pillow that was little help in
drowning out her voice. With a squeak, she sprinted from the room and he
sighed in relief as her footsteps faded down the hall. His reprieve was short
lived.
“Really, Connor?” Theo’s voice was much quieter but cut just as deep.
Maybe deeper. It carried an edge of irritation Connor heard too much of
lately. It ached at his core, along with all the other bruises and cuts that left
his heart in tatters.
“Baby, what?” Giving up on sleep, Connor twisted again and blinked his
gritty eyes toward the silhouette in the doorway.
“Nothing,” Theo sighed, stepping into the living room to swipe the empty
tumbler off the table. Tracking the movement, Connor grimaced as he
caught a blurry glimpse of the water mark his glass had left on their coffee
table.
“Sorry. I’ll fix it.” The words came out muffled and mumbled as Connor
swept his palm over his face.
“Don’t bother. Bedroom’s yours.” Theo turned and Connor felt the tie that
bound his heart to Theo’s stretch and strain as he watched him walk out of
the room. “We’ll be out of your way in half an hour.”
“Theo, baby.” He groaned and pushed himself into a seated position.
“C’mere.”
Theo paused just outside the doorway, tension sloughing off him like
water sheeting off a duck’s back. With a sigh and a sagging of his shoulders,
he reluctantly turned around. “What, Connor?”
“Look, I’m sorry about the table. It’s not a big deal, eh?”
“I’m not mad about the water mark. Just… go get some sleep.” He moved
to retreat and stopped when Connor called out again.
“What are you mad about, then? I ain’t a mind reader, but I can read the
room well enough.” Connor pushed himself to his feet with a groan. Twelve
hour overnight shifts as a security guard weren’t as physically demanding
as his last job, but his body ached nevertheless. Carrying the weight of the
world was no easy task.
