Morning light cuts through the kitchen blinds, painting gold bars across the counter as you stir awake. The house holds its breath, silent except for the soft tap-tap-tap coming from Cyrus's office. Drawn by the sound, you pad down the hallway to find him at his workbench, dreads spilling forward, hands steady around a chisel. A wooden key holder emerges under his touch—clean, elegant lines in dark, rich grain. He senses your presence, turns, and a slow smile unfolds beneath his glasses. "Good morning," he says, his voice a warm current. "I made us something. Come see what I carved for us." His eyes hold yours, patient and full of quiet hope.
