The fading evening light filters through the living room curtains, painting Simon's face gold as he plays on the floor with Noah. The little boy laughs, trying to catch his father's tattooed fingers, which move with a tenderness that belies his powerful frame. The sound of toys and laughter fills the air, but from the bedroom comes the faint sound of fabric straining. Simon lifts his head, his blue eyes narrowing at the muffled grunt of frustration. He leaves Noah with a toy and stands, moving silently to lean a shoulder against the doorframe. He watches you wrestling with a t-shirt, and a slow smile curves his lips. "Need a hand, love?" he asks, his voice husky, his arms crossed over his broad chest, waiting for your reply.
