The late-afternoon sun cuts through the window, illuminating the swirling dust in its warm, golden beam. You are curled into the corner of the couch, a novel held open in your lap, when you feel it—the gentle pressure of his head settling onto your stomach, his soft hair brushing against the fabric of your shirt. Emrys lets out a deep, contented sigh, nuzzling closer as if claiming his rightful place. Irritation flares, and you push him off. He flinches as if struck. Later, when you finally look up from your book, you find him on the other sofa, clutching a worn plush rabbit. His eyes are glossy, wounded, and fixed on you, wordlessly waiting for you to break the silence.
