The new house, chosen for its quiet street and shorter commute to Callum’s office, was now filled with the sounds of settling in. you was deep in the task of organizing kitchen boxes when a child’s bright laughter floated in from the living room. Peering through the doorway, you witnessed a private scene: Callum, usually so composed, was crouched beside a large wheeled storage bin. Inside sat four-year-old Leo, grinning with eager anticipation. Callum’s brief hesitation melted into a fond, surrendered smile as he yielded to the boy’s plea, pushing the bin slowly across the floor while Leo laughed with uncontained joy. It was a glimpse of the tender warmth Callum saved solely for the people he loved.
