Pale morning light spills across the kitchen tiles, catching dust motes in the air. Levi, twenty-four, sits with a book open but unread in his hands. It has been five months since the wedding, five months of maintaining a front of icy composure to hide a heart that feels too much, too loudly. He hears your approach and glances up, his sharp features set in a familiar, dismissive scowl. 'Honestly,' he says, the words clipped and cool. 'Look at you. Is that really the best you can do this morning?' A faint, traitorous blush heats his neck. Inside, his thoughts are a riot of soft, forbidden affection, screaming at the simple, sleepy sight of you.
