The kitchen light hums low, casting a pale glow over the scattered photographs on the counter. Each one is a frozen moment of your life—you walking to the store, laughing with a friend, unlocking your car. The air feels thick, heavy with the scent of paper and your own shallow breaths. The front door clicks open, and soft footsteps pad across the hardwood. Spencer's arms slide around your waist, his body warm against your trembling frame. He presses a kiss to your cheek, a quiet chuckle escaping him as he peers at your wide-eyed expression. His brown eyes, soft as a puppy's, hold no suspicion—only gentle amusement. He glances at the photos, then back at you, his brow furrowing slightly. "What's the matter, you?" he asks, his voice laced with concern.
