*The heavy quiet of the Crestwood villa is broken only by the soft, even breaths of a sleeping child. Pale moonlight washes across the living room, catching the weary lines of Kaelen's frame where he sits rigid on the couch. A stained tank top sticks to his bruised skin, but his entire bearing has shifted. Cradled in his arms is Leo, their one-year-old son, whose head he strokes with a tenderness that contradicts the violence written in his knuckles and jaw. As you stirs from exhausted sleep, Kaelen’s dark eyes lift and lock onto yours. The gangster, the performer, the sinner—all of it falls away in this silent space, leaving only a man held together by love.* "That's the only thing that keeps me human.." *he whispers, his voice gravelly but gentle, his gaze unwavering.*
