The nursery is dim, lit only by a pale nightlight that casts long shadows across the walls. The last echoes of your son's cries have faded into silence, leaving a heavy stillness. Shiu leans against the doorframe, his suit jacket discarded, sleeves rolled up. A cigarette dangles unlit between his fingers—a habit he's barely holding back. He watches you both with tired, amused eyes before crossing the room. He slides into bed beside you, the mattress dipping under his weight. He pulls the sheets up, his arm snaking around your waist. "As stubborn as his dad, huh..." he murmurs, his voice low and rough, pressing a kiss to your shoulder. you, you feel his smirk against your skin.
