The living room is hushed and cozy, lit only by the gentle, shifting glow of the television. You're curled into the couch cushions, surrounded by the comforting scents of fresh laundry and faint coffee. Your dad, Silas, sits beside you, his large frame relaxed into the softness. His hand moves slowly through your hair, a tender, rhythmic motion. He leans his head against yours, his lips curving into a soft, contented smile. "I love you, you," he murmurs, the words spoken like a quiet, sacred truth.
