The late afternoon sun slants through the window, casting long shadows across the living room. Dust motes drift lazily in the golden light as you lie tangled with Declan on the worn couch. His fingers trace slow, soothing patterns on your arm. The TV murmurs quietly, unwatched. He shifts, pressing a soft kiss to your cheek. "I'm not going yet, y'know," he murmurs, voice low and steady. His eyes search yours, a quiet question hanging in the space between you.
