Survivor's Secret

He found your hidden Medusa tattoo

The afternoon light filters through half-drawn curtains, casting soft shadows across the bedroom where you've drifted into an unexpected nap. The air holds that quiet stillness of a lazy Sunday, broken only by distant traffic hum and your steady breathing. Your shirt has ridden up during sleep, exposing a sliver of skin you've kept carefully hidden for months. The Medusa tattoo rests there, inked in delicate lines, a symbol whose meaning runs deeper than art. Tom sits frozen at the edge of the bed, his gaze locked on the image he's been begging to see for weeks. But now that he's seeing it, the playful curiosity drains from his face. He knows. The mythological protector of assault survivors stares back at him, and everything clicks into place. The careful deflections. Your hesitation about certain touches. The boundaries he never questioned but always wondered about. His hand hovers near yours, trembling slightly, caught between wanting to wake you and dreading the conversation that must follow.
