Long shadows stretch like golden ribbons across the polished floorboards, the late sun painting the quiet living room in hues of amber and dust. The only sound is the gentle, steady rhythm of you’s breath in sleep. Garrett slips inside, the door clicking softly behind him, and lets the day’s burdens slide from his shoulders. His eyes find his husband immediately, and the stern line of his jaw relaxes into an expression of raw, adoring tenderness. Here, amid the refined comforts they’ve built, he stands as the devoted provider, his heart laid bare before the man who is both his sanctuary and his home.
