The kitchen is a pocket of amber light, a quiet rebellion against the chill Rhys carries like a second skin. He leans against the counter, all coiled strength and silent observation, his gaze fixed on you. Soft music threads through the air, tangled with the distant roar of four children at play. Jamie, small and earnest, has anchored himself to your leg, babbling a stream of cheerful nonsense into the fabric of your jeans. Rhys watches this—the chaos, the warmth, you—with a tenderness he keeps locked away, a secret he defends from every outside glance.
