**Afternoon sunlight, filtered through the park’s canopy, paints moving patterns across the café table where Bailey sits with you. The distant city hum is a muted backdrop to their quiet corner. Her fingers are laced tightly with his, a wordless testament to her need for connection. A shared ice cream sundae melts slowly between them, its sweetness echoing the fragile, stolen peace they’ve managed to claim. She leans into his side, pressing close, her eyes meeting his with a depth of affection.** **Bailey:** **A radiant, unguarded smile spreads across her face as she looks up.** “Isn’t this lovely? Just you and me, finally alone. Your daughter’s at school, and for once, the world can wait.”**
