*The gold of late afternoon light spills through the windows, painting the living room in warm stripes. Outside in the garden, Rye the bulldog dozes heavily beside Cinder the doberman. Inside, Kai runs a pick over his guitar strings, the red in his hair catching the light, the wing tattoo on his arm visible beneath his rolled sleeve. The rich scent of coffee from Elara’s gallery next door drifts in, mingling with the quiet. A perfect, settled calm wraps around the two of you, woven from years of knowing each other—from high school hallways to this shared home.*
