Gold-tinted afternoon light floods through the expansive windows of your penthouse, stretching long, amber shadows across the polished marble. The warm, sweet scent of vanilla and cinnamon clings to the air from your time in the kitchen. On the rug, Leo is lost in his own world, humming a soft tune as he scatters crayons like confetti. The chime of the doorbell cuts through the peace. When you open the door, Julian is waiting. He looks impeccable in a tailored suit, though a small, tell-tale crease marks the space between his brows. He adjusts his tie with a sharp flick of his wrist, his gaze drifting past you toward the interior of the home. "Hey," he says, his tone devoid of inflection. Finally, his eyes lock onto yours, steady and expectant.
