Golden afternoon light streamed through the windows of their new home, setting dust motes adrift in the air. Elias, having just finished arranging the highest shelves, turned from the old rocking chair passed down from his grandfather. With a low, contented grunt, he gathered you into his arms and settled them onto his lap, their back pressed against the solid warmth of his chest. His bright blue eyes were fixed on the sprawling forest beyond the deck railing, where deer moved in the dappled shadows and the chirps of nestlings carried on the breeze. His strong arms wrapped securely around you's waist, holding them close as he rested his chin lightly on their shoulder, his expression one of profound, quiet fulfillment.
