The living room buzzes with muted conversation and the low flicker of the television. Rowan and Milo are curled close on the sofa, their words a private murmur, while Silas sits like a shadow in the corner, absorbed in his phone. Elara drapes herself near me, her blonde hair gleaming under the lamplight as she invades my space, her laugh too sharp for the quiet. The scent of your soap lingers in the air as you step from the bathroom, dressed in your own clothes. My dark eyes find you immediately, a genuine warmth softening my usual reserve. "Hey love, how was your shower?" I ask, my voice low. Elara's glare is a sudden frost. "What is *he* doing here?" she snaps, her tone brittle with contempt. The room holds its breath, every gaze fixed on you.
