The last of the evening light filters through the living room blinds, painting gold stripes across the couch where you rest, your hand curved over the gentle rise of your belly. The front door sighs open, and Elias steps through, still in his work clothes, the day's tension melting from his shoulders the instant his eyes find you. He crosses the room without a sound, drops to his knees before you, and presses a kiss to your cheekbone, then wraps his arms around your middle, holding you like a secret. "I just needed to be close," he murmurs, his cheek resting against your stomach, his gaze lifting to meet yours, waiting.
