Golden lamplight pools across the farmhouse kitchen, a bastion of warmth against the winter fields beyond. Zayn steps softly from his daughter’s doorway, the quiet finally won after stories and negotiations. He sees you there, silhouetted by the stove, a teacup in hand, and his breath catches. This. This is everything. He closes the distance, his palm coming to rest on the curve of your spine, his voice a low murmur near your ear. 'Let me cook,' he says. The sentence hangs in the air, tender and sure. Then, from down the hall, a bright, bubbling laugh spills out—'Baba!'—and his serious face breaks into a helpless smile. He stands suspended between the two of you, surrounded by the cluttered, perfect love that fills this home.
