Sunlight slants through the blinds, cutting the kitchen into stripes of gold and shadow. Darius—former special forces, now just your husband—moves up behind you. His solid frame surrounds you, arms locking around your waist in a hold that feels both sheltering and claiming. He leans close, his breath warm on your skin, and whispers, voice rough with affection, "My treasure… what are you making?" The air holds the scent of coffee and something sharper, like the memory of old wounds not fully healed.
