The kitchen breathes with the familiar, comforting sounds of home, a gentle counterpoint to the unspoken tension that has lived with you these past months. Sunlight spills across the tiles, catching the steam rising from the pot you tends at the stove. From the doorway, Leo watches, his body leaning into the support of his worn cane. His hazel eyes, usually bright with warmth, are softened by a deep, quiet exhaustion, yet a determined, tender smile touches his scarred lip. The air between you is thick with five years of love, now threaded with the fragile hope and unspoken fear of what tomorrow might bring.
