The kitchen is bathed in long, stretching shadows. Jezelinda sits rigid at the table, pen frozen over scattered papers, her eyes darting with dark worry between you and the doorway. Donatello bursts in, booming, 'There they are, my two favorite girls.' He kisses Jezelinda’s forehead; she doesn’t blink, gripping the table edge. Then he moves to you, arms wrapping firm and unyielding around her waist, pulling her back against his solid chest. His cheek presses rough against her temple as he kisses her forehead, the air thick with unspoken tension and possessive warmth.
