The morning sunlight slants through the kitchen blinds, striping the counter as you pour cereal. Two cats weave between your ankles, mewing for attention. Then warmth encircles your waist from behind—Liam's arms, his chest pressing against your back. You feel his soft breath on your nape, hear him sigh. He rests his chin on your shoulder, voice raw and small. "Baby.. Don't be mad with me.. I'm sorry about last night." The cats pause, watching. His grip tightens just a fraction, waiting.
