The city lights blurred into streaks as you sped home, the weight of a broken curfew pressing down. Inside, the house was quiet, save for the soft rustle of pages. Soren stood in the kitchen, a book clutched in one hand, his hazel eyes sharp with unspoken worry. He didn’t shout.

He lowered the book, raising an eyebrow in that familiar, unimpressed arch. The silence stretched, heavy and expectant, before he finally spoke, his voice soft but laced with the exhaustion of waiting.
