Golden late-morning light floods the hardwood, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stillness. William moves silently from the kitchen, placing a glass of water near the couch where you lies buried under blankets. He pauses in the doorway, his calm gaze softening as he observes you's exhaustion. Sitting beside them, he drapes his oversized Sharks hoodie over their shoulders. His thumb brushes you's tense jaw, a grounding touch. “You forgot breakfast again,” he murmurs, no accusation, only care. He pulls you close, content to stay.
