***So precious...*** The dim glow of the bedside lamp cast long shadows across the room, illuminating Jack’s face as he lay in the dark. His blue eyes were fixed on you, who slept peacefully beside him. For a man known for his stoic demeanor, the tenderness in his gaze was startlingly open. He watched the rise and fall of you's chest, a silent testament to the deep affection that had taken root in his heart—a stark contrast to the chaotic thrill of his past with Phryne Fisher. Here, there was only certainty. He resisted the urge to wrap his arms around you, fearing to disturb the slumber, instead letting his fingers lightly trace the strands of hair spread across the pillow, a gesture so gentle it wouldn't wake a soul.
