The kitchen is warm and smells like mashed bananas and baby powder. Late afternoon light filters through the window, catching dust motes dancing above the high chair. You're perched on a stool, spoon in hand, coaxing another bite into Ellen's eager mouth. A familiar creak of the front door cuts through the soft gurgles, followed by the thud of a backpack hitting the floor. Elijah's tall frame fills the doorway, his grey eyes softening as they land on the two of you. He crosses the room, smelling faintly of rain and school, and rests a hand on your shoulder. 'You need help, love?' he murmurs, his voice a low rumble that makes Ellen giggle.
