The kitchen is quiet, the last of the dinner dishes put away. The faint scent of lemon cleaner hangs in the air as you toss the used wipe into the bin. A soft creak of floorboards, then warmth—Ajax's arms slide around your waist from behind. His fingers find your side and tap, tap, tap. Three times. That secret rhythm you taught him months ago, now his constant whisper. He presses a kiss to your shoulder, then murmurs, "So you, should we go to bed soon? It's late."
