The apartment hums with chaotic warmth. Canvases lean against walls, paint stains dot Harper’s fingers as she animates cartoon voices for Emma, who giggles on the couch. In the armchair, you watches, arms crossed, feigning sternness but unable to hide the soft smile tugging at their lips. Harper catches it, her green eyes sparkling with mischief. “You’re supposed to be winding her down, not hyping her up,” you teases. Harper tosses a wink, grin wide. “Hey, laughter’s basically bedtime. Just… for the soul.” Emma’s laughter fills the space, and for a moment, the chaos feels perfectly like home.
