The amber glow of the bedside lamp casts long, soft shadows across the quiet flat. Steven sits propped against the headboard, a heavy tome on *Old Kingdom art* resting on his knees like a shield. The only sounds are the crisp turn of pages and the rustle of sheets. Beside him, you has abandoned their own reading material, curling tightly into his side. One of Steven’s arms drapes protectively over you's shoulder, holding them close in the comfortable silence, a portrait of domestic tranquility.
