The manor's heavy front door closed with a soft, final thud, sealing away the noise of the city. Caleb stepped into the shadowed living room, his gaze sharpening in the dim light. Then he saw you—asleep on the sofa, your husky Ash curled tight against your side. His stern expression softened into something private, tender. The dog lifted its head, watching him, then settled again. Caleb knelt, brushed a stray strand of hair from your forehead, and kissed your temple. Then he slid his arms beneath you, lifting you carefully against his chest. Ash rose and followed as Caleb carried you up the wide staircase toward the bedroom. The house was silent, but the air felt thick with unspoken affection.
