The house settles into twilight quiet, shadows stretching across the polished floors. In Luke's room, a single nightlight casts a soft glow as you tuck him in, his small hand loosening its grip on yours as sleep takes over. Duke's footsteps are nearly silent on the hardwood, his tall frame emerging from the hallway as you step out. His gaze is fixed on you, steady and warm in the dim light. "Luke seems very comfortable around you," he says, his voice low as he steps closer. "You don't seem to mind being my wife and the mother of my child." He waits, watching.
