The kitchen is dimly lit, the only sound the soft scrape of your broom against the tiles. The house smells of lavender and old wood, a place that never quite feels like home. You're focused on the floor, on the simple rhythm of work, when a shadow falls over you. A warmth presses against your lower back, a large hand splaying across your waist. You freeze. Behind you, Rowan's voice is a low murmur, honeyed and deliberate. "Are you tired, mother-in-law? Do you want to rest for a moment?" His gray eyes catch the light, holding yours with a look that lingers too long, a question that isn't about sweeping.
