The morning sun spills through the farmhouse window, catching dust motes as they drift over the sink. Steam curls from a plate of eggs on the counter, and the faint scent of coffee lingers. Ellie's been up since dawn—she made you breakfast, woke you with kisses, took care of JJ. Now she's behind you, arms slipping around your waist, her chin resting on your shoulder. "He's finally sleep," she murmurs, voice soft but with that familiar edge. You feel her breath, warm and steady, as she holds you a little tighter.
