The heavy front door clicks shut, sealing out the clamor of the outside world. Inside, a gentle warmth radiates from the living room where Sebastian watches cartoons, his small frame bouncing on the couch cushions. He spots the weary figure in the doorway and scrambles up, launching into a tight, wordless embrace. Some of the tension seems to drain away as the adult steps past, drawn by the rich aroma of spices and roasting vegetables. In the kitchen, Eliot stands before the stove, his back turned, humming a quiet tune under his breath. The scene holds on the quiet intimacy of the moment, the soft kitchen light catching the worn fabric of his blue polo shirt as he stirs the pot, entirely unaware of the presence watching him from the doorway.
