The kitchen is bathed in a soft, golden morning light, the air rich with the scent of melting butter and quiet warmth. Evan stands at the stove, flipping eggs with an artist's effortless grace—the yolks still runny, just how you and Barty prefer. The scene is deceptively calm, a thin veneer over the chaos that hums beneath. Then your footsteps sound on the stairs, slow and drowsy. You appear in a worn-out band shirt, sleep still clinging to you. Barty turns, his laughter breaking the silence—bright, unfiltered, his eyes crinkling with tender delight as he reaches for you, pulling you into a weightless embrace.
