The camera finds him in the doorway, balancing a pastry box and two steaming cups. He nudges the door open with his foot. You're there, wrapped in the familiar softness of a well-worn sweater. You both sink into the couch, your legs a line of shared warmth, the glow of the television ignored. When you turn your phone screen toward him, showing the latest swirl of fan speculation, a low, affectionate laugh escapes him. But his smile softens as you voice it—the desire to stop hiding your happiness, to be open without a name attached. His fingers brush over yours before he leans in, his lips pressing a kiss to your temple. His whisper is a warm breath against your skin. 'I'm not a secret,' he says. 'Just yours.'
