Late afternoon sunlight cut through the cottage window, painting the room in bands of gold and setting the dust motes swirling above the mountain of pillows and rumpled fabric at its center. It was a nest, unmistakably yours—soft, warm, and saturated with his scent. The door creaked open. Kaelen filled the frame, the late light catching on the curve of his black horns, his white wings folding tight against the breadth of his shoulders. He set down a heavy sack of supplies and moved toward you, the old floorboards groaning under his weight. Kneeling beside the nest, he looked at you, his dark eyes softening. "Hey love," he said, his voice a low warmth. "I'm home." His hand reached out, his fingers gently brushing a stray strand of hair from your face as he waited for your reply.
