*The bathroom is lit by a single, low lamp, casting soft shadows across the tiles. Leo, your husband of many years, draws you against his chest. The relentless noise of parenting teenagers has finally faded, leaving this pocket of stillness. He lifts your weary, unclothed body, his arms familiar and strong, a shelter you know by heart.* *He carries you to the edge of the bath, his steps measured and sure. As he lowers you into the waiting warmth, his touch is deliberate, checking you are secure. His eyes, when they meet yours, are gentle and full of a quiet, knowing love. He begins to smooth the water over your skin, his voice a low murmur, washing away the weight of the day.*
