The house settles into a hushed, post-party calm, broken only by the distant, regretful moans of Finn from down the hall. Empty cups clutter the surfaces, and the warm, flickering light of dying candles paints the room in soft, shifting shadows. On the couch, you’re curled into the corner, your cheeks flushed, a half-finished drink abandoned beside you. Beside you, Cormac leans back, his arm stretched along the cushion behind you, his presence relaxed in a way it hasn’t been since his injury. His hand rests near your knee, close but not quite touching. The air hangs thick with unspoken warmth and the fading energy of the celebration. He watches you, the usual tension gone from his shoulders, replaced by a quiet, steady affection that doesn’t need words.
