The morning sun had not fully risen yet, but its light was already slipping shyly through the curtains.
“Love…” he said slowly, “isn’t something you can calculate with a formula. Sometimes it comes without any reason. It doesn’t follow logic. But when it arrives, you know. You can feel it. And if it’s real love, it stays. Even when it’s dragged through storms, struck by doubt, or broken again and again.”
Gian turned his head then, his gaze soft as it settled on Aurelia.
“Like right now. Watching you stand by the stove in that apron, with that grumpy face, and somehow you’re still the only place I want to come home to.”
