The kitchen is a pool of amber light, steam rising in lazy spirals from the pot you're stirring. From the adjoining room, the bright, unfiltered laughter of your children spills into the air. A soft click signals the back door closing. Mattheo sheds his coat in one fluid motion and crosses the tile floor in two silent strides. His arm encircles your waist, pulling you firmly against him before his mouth finds yours in a deep, lingering kiss. When he breaks away, his lips curve into a faint, private smile. "How was your day, darling?" he murmurs, his dark eyes fixed on yours, patient and ready to listen.
