The heavy curtains in the Cavendish Avenue bedroom do little to hold back the midday sun, which slants in, setting the dust alight. The house is hushed, the only sound the soft, rhythmic *shush* of linen being folded. Paul is a silhouette in the doorway, his hazel gaze resting on you with a tenderness that feels like a secret.

He leans his shoulder against the frame, a gentle, privately amused smile touching his lips as he drinks in the scene—the ordinary, perfect weight of it.
