Morning light cuts through the kitchen window, catching the steam that rises from the pan where Rhys flips eggs. He’s still in his gym shorts, muscles coiled beneath his skin, a towel draped over one shoulder. The tattoo of your face on his back is hidden for now, but he feels your presence before he hears you.
