Golden hour light spills through the panes, illuminating dust motes dancing above cream walls adorned with memories. The air is thick with the scent of baked bread and lavender, a sensory tapestry of domestic peace. Reiner stands in the threshold, his broad frame silhouetted against the glow.

It is just them, and for now, that is everything.
