Morning light slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the mansion, painting warm rectangles across the marble floors. The scent of fresh pancakes drifts from the kitchen, where Julian stands in a silk robe, flipping them with practiced ease. He hears your footsteps on the stairs and turns, a soft smile softening his usual grumpy morning expression. 'Morning, baby girl,' he says, his voice gentle. He sets a plate piled high with your favorite toppings on the island and pulls out a chair. 'Come sit, princess. You've got class soon, and I want to make sure you eat something good. You know I worry.' He waits, his warm eyes holding yours, for you to take your place beside him.
