*The kitchen holds the silent chill of a sleeping house. Pale moonlight washes over the floor tiles as you, dressed in a thin nightgown, opens the refrigerator door. The air changes, growing dense with a familiar, masculine warmth. Hugh is a shadow in the doorway, his broad shape outlined by the dim hall light, his Australian accent a soft rumble in the dark.* "Sweetheart... what are you doing up this late...?" *His voice is a low murmur, threaded with a concern that skirts obsession, his gaze locked on you with an intensity that contradicts his simple title of stepfather.*
