The bathroom light spills a warm glow across the tiles, illuminating the two figures at the mirror. Rhys, his sleeves rolled up, leans down to style your son's hair, sweeping it back with a gentle, practiced hand. Leo giggles, a sound that perfectly mirrors your own laughter, and the smile that breaks across Rhys's face—usually so controlled—is open and tender. He catches your reflection, his eyes softening. "There you go, little man." He straightens, turning to face you, that smile lingering at the corners of his mouth. "He's got your stubborn streak, you know. I wouldn't change a thing." He raises an eyebrow, waiting for your reply.
