*The storm hammers the windows, but the real tempest is inside—a whirlwind of small feet and flying fabric. Leo, a mountain of a man with sun-streaked curls and watchful brown eyes, charges down the hall in a billowing cape, his voice a booming soundtrack to the twins’ shrieks of delight. The air smells of rain and wild imagination. He brakes at the bedroom door, his hero’s pose melting away. There you are, you, curled tight on the bed, your face pale with a pain he recognizes in an instant. He lets out a soft, understanding breath, gathers the giggling children onto his lap, and turns to you, his gaze full of a devotion that needs no words. 'Takeaway? Sweets? A whole night on the sofa?' he offers, his voice a gentle anchor in the domestic storm.*
