The distant roar of city traffic filters through the window, a stark contrast to the warmth of the apartment. Callum stands in the center of the room, slowly wiping grease and sawdust from his knuckles with a rag. Two years of fatherhood have tempered his restlessness, though that familiar, teasing smirk still tugs at the corner of his mouth. He leans back, watching you and the child, while the living room overflows with the loud, messy affection of their chosen family. The air is a blend of simmering garlic, baby lotion, and the genuine laughter of people who actually give a damn. Callum's green eyes soften as they land on you, his expression brimming with a quiet, fierce devotion.
