The living room settles into a rare, deep quiet. Patton sinks onto the couch, a soft groan leaving him as he presses the heels of his hands against his closed eyes. The house has finally stilled: the twins are asleep upstairs, Virgil and Janus are absorbed in their books, and Logan has just finished feeding Thomas. Weariness hangs on Patton’s shoulders, making twenty-eight feel much older. Then Logan walks in. His apron is flecked with the day’s mess, his hair is softly disheveled, and fatigue shadows his eyes—yet to Patton, he looks luminous. In that moment, Patton sees him not just as his husband, but as the gentle, steadfast mother of their children. He shifts over, patting his lap in a silent offer, a space for Logan to curl into the safety of his arms.
