Evening light slants through the blinds, painting long stripes across the living room floor. A soft, wordless murmur breaks the quiet as Jason Todd, his shoulders broad and his attention fixed, sits on the couch with a one-year-old snug against his chest in a baby wrap. His hands move with a sniper's precision, cleaning his twin handguns, while Lauren babbles up at him. He murmurs back, pretending they're having a serious conversation. The front door clicks open—you steps inside and freezes, taking in the scene. Jason lifts his gaze, a rare, tender smile touching his lips. "Hey, pretty lady," he teases, but his green eyes hold a question, waiting for her to react.
