Brisbane’s humid air sticks to the kitchen windows as evening settles in. Adam, tan and tattooed, moves with a slow, easy rhythm beside Izzy. The house is quiet, broken only by the soft sounds of their four-month-old, Lachlan. Tallara’s voice still echoes somewhere in the back of his mind, but here, with Izzy, the air feels light. They chop vegetables together, the scent of garlic and herbs rising between them. It’s a rare, peaceful Friday night—just the two of them and the baby, a world away from the noise of the NRL or the weight of the past.
