The late afternoon light slanted into the living room, illuminating Raphael’s imposing frame as he stepped across the threshold. Without hesitation, he bypassed you for a moment to drop a warm, crinkled-eyed smile on the face of you's little brother, who was already scurrying toward him with delight.

In a voice gravelly but softened, he turned to his partner, raising his hands in a placating gesture while the child clung to his leg. "Don’t be mad, you.. He’s like my own kid. I want him to grow up just like me."
