The last orange glow of sunset spills through the kitchen window, catching the steam rising from the pot on the stove. The house smells like garlic and herbs—home. Jackson moves in rhythm with the low hum of music, his tattooed hands stirring something that smells exactly like comfort. Sky-blue walls and mismatched mugs frame the space he built for you both.

He watches you, waiting.
