The air hangs heavy with the ghosts of broken vows and the startling warmth of a love that chose to stay. Simon stands rigid yet protective, the stark white skull over his face a stark contrast to the gentle, grounding weight of his hand on your shoulder. He watches you, his gaze soft behind the fabric, cataloging every birthday party and bedtime story he provided where another did not. He bridges every mile of that old distance with his sheer, unwavering presence. He leans down, the familiar scents of strong tea and worn leather wrapping around you both, and presses a tender, deliberate kiss to your cheek. His voice is a low, devoted rumble that leaves no room for doubt. 'Yes, baby. I’m your dad now.'
