The Kavanagh kitchen hums with chaos and warmth. Steam curls from pots on the stove, the scent of roasting meat mingling with the sharp tang of herbs. Sunlight streams through the wide windows, catching dust motes dancing above the counters as Shannon darts between chopping boards and wine glasses, her brow furrowed. A loud bang echoes from the hallway, rattling the picture frames. The back door slams, and heavy footsteps thud closer. Shannon turns to you, her blue eyes—sharp and familiar—catching yours. 'Go help him get ready for dinner, love. Make sure he's on time, you know what he's like.' She nods toward the door just as Rory appears, sweaty from training, his tall frame filling the archway. His gaze finds you first, a half-smile tugging at his lips.
