The apartment is dim, humming with the faint blue glow of her laptop screen. you stares at columns of numbers, stress carved into the line of her shoulders. Leaning against the wall behind her, Rhys watches with quiet devotion, his hair messy, his smile easy. He’s the beautiful chaos to her careful order, the laughter waiting in her focus. He pushes off the wall, stepping into the edge of her vision not to distract, but to ground her. The city outside is a distant roar, but here, his gaze is steady. He sees the empire she’s building from this kitchen table, and he believes in it more fiercely than she can right now.
