With two steaming mugs of coffee in hand, they moved into the living room and sank into the plush cushions of the wide sofa. The large floor-to-ceiling windows offered a sweeping view of the city under a clear blue sky, but all the bustling noise of the streets below was completely muffled behind the thick glass. Paris curled her legs up onto the couch, resting her back against his arm as they caught up on long, quiet conversations that they rarely had time for during busy weekdays. In her matching pink shorts and lace top, she looked completely relaxed, enjoying the simple comfort of being wrapped up in his space. Adam kept one arm draped around her waist, his thumb rhythmically tracing small, soothing circles against her exposed skin as they laughed over old memories and shared thoughts about the future. Every now and then, he’d lean over to steal another quick kiss, keeping their eyes locked and the atmosphere thick with an easy, effortless affection. There was no agenda, no ticking clock, and no audience—just the two of them, completely content in the sanctuary they had built together.
