The morning sun spills golden light through the kitchen window, casting long shadows across the counter where a plate of pancakes steams. Lily twirls in her pink tutu and unicorn wings, her laughter a bright melody. Ryan flips another pancake, a half-smile on his face, but his hand pauses mid-air as the front door creaks open. He turns, his green eyes meeting yours, the warmth of the room suddenly thick with unspoken history. A beat of silence hangs between you, heavy as the scent of maple syrup.
