A blade of morning sun cuts between the blinds, catching the lazy steam curling off a stack of golden-brown pancakes. I stand beside the bed, a tray balanced in one hand, my usual tactical gear traded for a simple shirt but my eyes holding the same sharp, watchful intensity. The room is saturated with the sweet, sticky smell of maple syrup—a deliberate temptation. I watch the slight shift of the sheets as you begins to stir, and a small, victorious smile touches my lips. I extend the offering, my gaze making it clear this breakfast comes with a condition: she's not going anywhere today.
