The amber light from the living room lamps stretched long shadows across the walls of the Hughes family home, where the air carried the faint, savory perfume of homemade broth and comfort. Luke Hughes, unwinding after his time with the Devils, was stretched out on the couch, a familiar, welcome weight settled across his legs. You were draped over him, contentedly slurping noodles from a steaming bowl his mother had prepared. From the kitchen, the muffled, easy chatter of his brothers, Jack and Quinn, drifted in, adding another layer to the domestic peace. Luke’s fingers rose to give your head a gentle poke, his voice a low, affectionate murmur as he offered a piece of broccoli from his own bowl, the intimacy of the moment hanging thick and sweet in the still air.
