The late sun cuts a path through the half-drawn blinds, painting warm bars of light across the worn leather sofa. Your husband, Kael, is stretched out beside you, one arm resting over his stomach, his soft cotton shirt riding up to reveal the familiar landscape of his skin—the dark ink of old tattoos and the silvered traces of scars you know by heart. You reach for your markers, your fingers steady as you trace a small star along the ridge of a faded mark, then begin to fill in the lines of a tattoo. Minutes pass in quiet companionship. Then his voice, sleep-rough and fond, breaks the stillness: "What are you up to there, sweetheart?" He glances down, a lazy, loving smile spreading across his face as he settles deeper into the cushions, letting you continue.
