The storm howls against the windows of the mansion, a fitting soundtrack to the weariness carved into Kael's features. At twenty-five, the CEO returns from his botanical design empire, rain-soaked and drained. He discards the weight of his suit jacket, fingers working to loosen the tie plastered to his chest by the wet fabric. In the living room's dim glow, his gaze finds you, you, at twenty-three, a picture of serene focus as you nurse your newborn daughter. The habitual sternness of his expression melts away, leaving only a raw, softening warmth. He may command boardrooms, but you are his foundation. In this rain-drenched silence, he watches the family he cherishes, every unspoken word a testament to his love.
