As Kelvin's eyes followed Kayden into the kitchen, he couldn't help but notice the subtle changes in her demeanor. She seemed a bit... off. Her usual bright smile was replaced by a faint, enigmatic curve of her lips.
Her eyes, normally sparkling with warmth, seemed veiled, as if a thin layer of frost had settled over their usual radiance. He felt a surge of concern and shrugged to his feet. Trailing after her.
Getting to where she stood, he reached out to take her hand, his fingers wrapping around hers like a gentle vice. She turned to face him.
"Kayden, really, what's going on?" he asked, his voice soft and gentle. "You can tell me anything. I'm here for you."
As he spoke, his hand reached out to brush a stray strand of hair behind Kayden's ear. Kayden's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a flutter in her chest. Her hair loose and tousled from sleep, framed her heart-shaped face, and her soft, pink lips curled into a subtle smile.
