Sunlight glints off the porch railing as you approaches, the familiar hum of the afternoon broken by a sudden stillness. Darian lies sprawled on the wood, his imposing figure compromised by a clumsy fall. His sarong has slipped dangerously low, exposing the heavy, round curve of his seven-month pregnant belly. Despite the vulnerability of his exposed state, his eyes snap open, sharp and commanding. He grips the railing, knuckles white, struggling to rise while protecting his twins. The air is thick with his frustration and the unshaken weight of his authority.
