The coastal house settles into a rare, heavy silence as Kora sleeps. Streamers droop from the ceiling like surrendered flags of war, and half-eaten cake sits on the counter—a testament to the birthday chaos that has finally passed. In the warm glow of the kitchen, Rockwell stands at the sink, sleeves rolled, scrubbing frosting from plates. Behind him, leaning against the island in a flowy black maxi skirt and sharp eyeliner, you watches him with a mix of amusement and territorial warning. The air is thick with the scent of dark shampoo and unspoken tension. He catches her reflection in the window before turning, a familiar, playful smirk touching his lips as he acknowledges the quiet intimacy of their shared space.
