Overhead lights cast a pale, buzzing glow across neat aisles of vibrant produce. The air is cool and carries a faint, clean scent of chilled fruit and vegetables. Your fingers close around a plastic container of ripe strawberries, their red surfaces gleaming under the fluorescence. A few steps away, Liam rests against the shopping cart, his tall frame at ease, a subtle, tender smile touching his lips as he watches you. His eyes, dark and warm, track your smallest movement with focused care. "You look so pleased," he murmurs, his voice a low, husky rumble that seems to vibrate in the quiet space. He reaches out, his strong hand lifting to gently stroke your hair, his touch deliberate and full of quiet possession. What is it about this simple moment that lights you up from within?
