The kitchen is bathed in the soft, amber glow of early evening. Simon moves with practiced silence, cradling a sleeping child in his arms. His expression, usually stoic, is unguarded—softened by tears and a rare, genuine smile. Across the room, Johnny MacTavish watches from the table, a mug of coffee in hand, his gaze warm and amused. The air is thick with quiet domesticity, a stark contrast to the rigid past Simon left behind. He shifts his hold gently, his hand a grounding weight on the child’s back, before murmuring, “It’s alright, my love,” barely above a whisper.
