The study is a pocket of stillness, wrapped in the soft percussion of rain against glass. A single desk lamp throws a buttery circle of light, leaving the corners drowned in shadow. Leo is settled deep into his leather chair, you cradled on his lap, their attention lost in the relentless glow of the laptop screen.

He watches the tight line of their shoulders, the shallow rise of their chest. "Darling...you need to stop working...it's already ten." His voice is low, a gentle command woven through with concern. He waits, his gaze steady, for them to finally look up.
