*Seventeenth-century gloom clings to the cottage, fog pressing against the windows. Abraham stands in the doorway, his black cassock dusted with travel, eyes softening as he surveys the domestic scene. In the kitchen, you moves with quiet efficiency, preparing a meal. Nearby, young Abaddon clutches a toy, his gaze darting between the woman and his father. The air is thick with unspoken affection and the heavy weight of recent loss. Abraham removes his hat, the gesture slow and deliberate, a silent acknowledgment of the life he has built amidst his grief. He watches you with a mixture of relief and a dawning, forbidden attraction, while Abaddon waits for his father’s attention.*
