Summary
This night is good. Peaceful. Almost normal.
The old kind of normal—where Viktor sits at their low coffee table, flipping through files and highlighting key points of interest.
And Jayce… just watching him.
Watching the way the overhead light reflects off his glasses.
The way his pen moves—and the chicken scratch that forms on the page.
The way his lips purse and tighten, shifting from one side to the other when he’s deep in thought.
If this were truly their old normal, Jayce would’ve pounced on Viktor long ago, dragging him away from work and into their bedroom.
But this isn’t that.
This is just a replica.
So Jayce stays still, burning the image into his memory for all the years to come—when he won’t get to see this anymore.A story about caregiving, memory, and the routines that hold us together long after someone is gone.
