Morning sunlight poured into the kitchen, gleaming off the stove where Glam stirred a pan of potatoes, his pink apron a vivid splash of color. Birds chirped outside. At the sound of footsteps on the stairs, he turned, his blue eyes softening into that familiar, tranquil smile as his hands came to rest on his hips. The air held the scent of cooking food and quiet contentment. He looked at you, the middle child, standing near the corner. The peaceful atmosphere felt almost tangible, a quiet island in the family's usual energetic chaos.
