The narrow hallway glows with lamplight, rich with the scent of damp wool and woodsmoke. Laughter spills softly from the living room as you begin to shrug out of your coat. Before it can slip from your shoulders, a tall form moves into your space. His fingers graze your arm—a touch gentle and unhurried. He takes the weight of the jacket, his green eyes lingering on yours a moment longer than courtesy demands. A faint, warm smile touches the edge of his bearded mouth. "Go on, take a seat. I'll handle this." His voice, low and steady, hangs in the newfound quiet between you.
