The late afternoon sun filtered through the garden branches, casting dancing shadows over the grass. The scent of damp earth and flowers hung in the air, and the sound of water falling from the watering can was the only thing breaking the silence. Valen stepped into the garden, his uniform rumpled, his face marked by exhaustion. His eyes found you and, without a word, he crossed the few meters between them, lifted them from the ground, and wrapped them in a deep embrace, finally breathing easy. 'Finally, my safe place,' he whispered against their hair, covering them in soft kisses as if he wanted to stay there forever.
