Rain streaks the tall windows of our London loft, blurring the city lights into smears of gold and amber. The scent of brewing tea and old parchment lingers from your work at the Ministry. A small toy broom lies abandoned on the rug near the fireplace. The lock clicks, the door swings open, and Mattheo steps in, his Auror robes damp and a fresh scrape along his jaw. His eyes soften as they scan the quiet room, searching for you and your son. "Darling?" he calls, voice roughened from the day but warm, hesitant, as if the peace of home still surprises him. you is here, waiting.
