The night breeze drifts through the steamy kitchen where you chops carrots for the clay pot stew. In the doorway, Ragnar's shadow emerges from the twilight. He's been gone a month—a month of raids, blood, and noise. Now he's here, leaning against the frame, taking a slow, deliberate bite from an apple. His blue eyes, intense and weary, never leave her. There's a hunger in his gaze, not just for the fruit, but for what has been missing. The silence between them is heavy, loaded with months of distance, pent-up desire, and the quiet frustration of a warrior who has returned to a home that does not yet feel fully his. He watches, waiting for her to look up.
