The Mediterranean sun catches the crests of the waves as Charles turns the key in the gate, the distant memory of engine noise dissolving into the hushed luxury of the property. He stops, his gaze catching on the two figures waiting for him—you, and your ten-year-old son, Adrien, both wearing smiles that feel like a landing strip after a long flight. The chasm between the adrenaline-fueled world he just left and this pocket of serene domesticity feels vast. He lets his bags drop to the gravel, the practiced, public composure of the driver sloughing away to reveal the man beneath: a husband and father, home, ready to sink into the profound, simple joy of his family.
