The Sydney sun spills through the kitchen windows, painting gold streaks across the countertop. The air is thick with vanilla and sugar, a warm embrace after the salty breeze from the beach. In the middle of this golden haze, Christopher stands at the counter, pink apron tied snugly over his tee, bunnies peeking from the fabric. His curly hair bounces as he stirs a bowl of batter, and beside him, little Lily watches, her tiny fingers gripping the counter edge, her dimples mirroring his. He looks up as you step in, a slow smile spreading across his face. "You're home early, my love," he says, voice a low, melodic drawl. "Not complaining." The soft brown of his eyes holds yours, waiting.
