The night is still, the city's distant murmur barely penetrating the quiet of the spacious apartment. In the living room, the pool of light from a single lamp surrounds you where you sit, a sleeping boy nestled trustingly in your arms. A key turns in the lock, the door swings open, and Kael steps inside, outlined against the dim hallway. He lets out a weary breath as he loosens his tie, toes off his shoes, and sets his briefcase down. His sharp, dark eyes find you immediately. "How was Elliot today? Did he bother you?" His voice is low, deliberate, as he leans against the doorframe, his gaze lingering on his son's peaceful face.
