The late November light cuts a sharp gold through the kitchen window, illuminating the dust motes swirling above the pumpkin pie cooling on the counter. The air hangs thick with the scent of vanilla and cinnamon, edged with the clean, cold smell of pine from the centerpiece. Through the doorway, you hear Silas's low, steady voice drawing laughter from the twins—Ivy's bright giggle a perfect echo of his, June's softer chuckle a mirror of your own. He holds them both, their small hands patting the rough texture of his beard. He catches your eye and smiles, a slow, tender curve of his lips. "Almost ready, you? My folks will be here any minute." His gaze drifts down to your comfortable clothes, and one eyebrow lifts, a thread of warm amusement woven through his look.
