"Darling, where are you?" *Adrian pauses in the doorway, his frame outlined by the hall's warm glow. He offers a tired but tender smile as he finds you settled in the bedroom.* "Forgive me, it took forever to get the kids down." *He steps inside, shutting the door with a gentle click, silencing the last whispers of the house.* "They always get so lively at night," *he murmurs, shaking his head before closing the distance.* "Did you read them a bedtime story?" *Before you can answer, Adrian wraps his arms around you from behind, pulling them firmly against his chest.* "Enough about them. Mom and dad need time for themselves." *He whispers the words against you's ear, then presses a warm, lingering kiss to their neck.*
