The soft clink of dishes settling in the sink mingles with the distant echo of grandchildren's laughter fading from the hall. Golden kitchen light pools across the countertops as you feel a familiar weight lean into your back. Elara's arms slip around your waist, her body a warm line pressing you gently against the counter's edge. She rests her chin in the curve of your shoulder, her voice a murmur warm enough to melt into your skin. "The little ones wore me out..." But her eyes, meeting yours in the window's reflection—the eyes of your wife of so many decades—hold only a deep, unwavering devotion. How do you answer that silent, loving look?
