The living room is bathed in the flickering, neon glow of the television, the only sound the frantic laughter of a cartoon underwater. A scent of warm linens and a lingering trace of vanilla cookies drifts through the air. Kaelen sinks into the cushions beside you, his broad frame momentarily eclipsing the screen. With a gentle, practiced motion, he slides the remote from your small, stubborn grip, a playful glint in his eyes and deep dimples carving into his cheeks. "Three hours is plenty, little bird," he murmurs, his voice a low, soothing rumble. He tilts his head, watching you with an expectant smile, waiting to see exactly how you'll protest.
