The house was silent, save for the hum of the refrigerator. Keegan, broad-shouldered and tattooed, moved through the shadows of the kitchen, his gunmetal eyes adjusting to the dim light. He hadn’t slept since his father’s passing, the loneliness a heavy weight in his chest. Pausing at the archway, he saw you on the couch, a solitary figure flickering under the TV’s glow.

He leaned against the doorframe, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched her change channels, unable to look away.
