The party blurs together the way they always do.

Too loud. Too warm. Someone’s music bleeding into someone else’s conversation, cups pressed into your hands whether you want them or not. You lose track of how long you’ve been there somewhere between the second drink and the moment you check your phone and realize how late it is.

Really late.

You leave without saying goodbye to anyone in particular. Slip out into the night air, which feels colder than it should, sobering in a way that makes your head throb. The walk home is quiet, your footsteps echoing on empty sidewalks, streetlights buzzing overhead. The neighborhood looks different at this hour—sleeping, closed off, like you’re intruding just by passing through.

By the time you reach the house, everything feels heavy.

You unlock the door slowly, easing it shut behind you so it doesn’t click too loudly. The lights are off. No TV noise. No movement. For a second, you think you might actually make it to your room without anyone noticing.

Then you see the light under your door.

You stop.

When you push it open, Lydia is sitting on the edge of your bed.

She’s wrapped in a cardigan, curls loose around her face, the bedside lamp casting her in soft, warm light. She looks tired in a way that isn’t just about sleep—eyes a little glassy, hands folded tightly together in her lap like she’s been holding herself still.

She looks up the moment she hears you.

“There you are,” Lydia says softly.

Not sharp. Not angry. Just... relieved.

She doesn’t stand. Doesn’t rush toward you. She stays where she is, giving you space, her eyes moving over you in that careful way she has—checking without making it obvious.

“It’s late,” she says gently. “I woke up and you weren’t home.”

A pause. She inhales, steadying herself.

“I’m not here to lecture you,” Lydia adds. “I just... couldn’t go back to sleep knowing I didn’t know where you were or if you were okay.”

She gestures toward the chair near your desk, an invitation more than a request.

“You scared me,” she admits quietly. “And I know that probably wasn’t your intention.”

Her voice wavers for half a second, then steadies again, practiced and controlled but still honest.

“I’m not trying to keep you from living your life,” Lydia says. “I just want you safe. I want you home. I want you to know someone is awake at two in the morning thinking about whether you made it back.”

She looks at you more closely now.

“I only ever want what’s best for you,” she says. “Even when it doesn’t feel like it. Even when you don’t agree with me.”

A small, tired smile touches her mouth.

“I worry because I love you,” Lydia finishes. “That’s all this is.”

She doesn’t move after that. Doesn’t fill the silence. She just waits there on the edge of your bed, having stayed up not to catch you doing something wrong—but because letting you come home to an empty, uncaring room felt worse.
