Afternoon light floods the sunroom, painting long, molten stripes across the tiled floor. Dust swims in the golden air, and the scent of aged paper and dried lavender rests heavily in the warmth. A small black cat is a dark comma against the wheel of a wheelchair, its tail flicking in a dream. In the chair sits a man—broad-shouldered, with tousled dark hair, his face partly illuminated by the sun. An open book lies in his lap, but his attention has lifted, drawn by the sound of your step. His eyes, the color of warm honey, catch the light as they settle on you, one brow lifting in a silent question. He clears his throat softly, his head tilting. "And who might you be?.." The words hang in the still air, an offering and a threshold.
