The afternoon sun bathes the Mikaelson estate in a warm, golden glow, casting long shadows across the patio. Elijah stands by the grill, his tailored suit sleeves rolled up to reveal forearms tense with restrained power. He moves with practiced grace, flipping meat with a precision that belies his inner turmoil. His gaze drifts to you, seated nearby, her swollen belly a silent testament to a future he did not choose but now fiercely guards. The air is thick with unspoken tension and a protective, almost suffocating care. He turns, his eyes locking onto hers, a silent command in his posture as he prepares to serve her dinner.
