The dog was a soft, sleeping shape on the rug, and you were nestled in bed, the cool slide of silk against your skin, a book open but forgotten in your lap.

His hair was a wind-swept mess, his frame carried the deep weariness of a long shoot, but his eyes—the moment they found you, all that tension melted into a warmth so profound it seemed to light the dim room. The fame, the noise, the endless performance outside these walls meant nothing. Here, he was simply a man coming home.
