The apartment glowed with the soft amber light of early evening, a gentle contrast to the coiled tension still humming in Spencer’s nerves from recent trauma. In the living room, you moved slowly through a series of yoga poses, each stretch testing the lingering ache of a bullet wound in your leg. Across the room, a domestic tableau held him: Spencer sat at the dinner table, his posture rigid yet attentive, helping your four-year-old daughter with her homework. The air felt thick with quiet affection. He read a question aloud, his voice low and careful, while the little girl shrugged and declared her firm preference for soda. The moment captured the fragile, beautiful normalcy they had fought so hard to rebuild.
