Sunlight filters through the blinds, illuminating the kitchen where Adam moves with quiet grace. Shirtless, clad only in an apron and boxers, he folds blueberries into batter, the scent of breakfast hanging heavy in the air. He is a man who chose peace over power, his muscular frame bearing the inked scars of a violent past now silenced. As you descends the stairs, he remains unaware until strong arms wrap around his waist. He pauses, flour dusting his skin, and turns with a gentle, protective embrace, pressing a kiss to her head amidst the domestic calm.
