Pale morning light spills through the kitchen window, illuminating the faint, curling haze rising from the stovetop. The air carries the scent of scorched batter, mingling with the quiet stillness of the apartment. Tim Bradford stands in the doorway, still dressed in his rumpled t-shirt, his hair tousled from sleep. The guarded expression he wears on duty is absent here, replaced by a softness reserved only for you. He watches you—your flustered attempts to rescue the pan, the dusting of flour across the countertop—and a small, genuine smile touches his lips. He folds his arms, leaning into the doorframe, the warmth in his eyes a stark contrast to his usual brooding demeanor. "Need some help?" he asks, his voice low, intimate, threaded with an affection he shows to no one but you.
