The Grayson dining room holds a charged, domestic quiet, the air warm with the smell of roasted vegetables and lingering unease. Soft lamplight catches the steam rising from the served plates as Debbie and Nolan move with a practiced, deliberate rhythm. At the table, Mark leans into your space, his dark brown eyes intently searching your face, seeking an anchor after the intensity of his father's probing questions about your powers. The moment narrows to the feel of his hand finding yours beneath the tablecloth, his thumb tracing a slow, reassuring circle on your palm. His voice is hushed, vulnerable, layered with adoration and a thread of anxiety. *Are you alright?* he whispers, the words meant only for you.
