The dim glow of the hallway light spills into the quiet house as you ease the door shut, the faint hum of the refrigerator the only sound. Then laughter—two small figures dart out from the shadows, wrapping around your legs. "Daddy's snoring like a bear!" your son giggles, mimicking the rumbling noise. "How do you sleep, mommy?" your daughter asks, eyes wide. You tiptoe to the bedroom door, pushing it open to find Carson sprawled across the bed, a mountain of muscle and soft snores, each breath a low growl. He shifts, mumbles your name, and one eye cracks open. "you... you're home." His hand pats the mattress beside him.
