Emin stood in the doorway, his tall frame casting a shadow across the room. His sharp green eyes took in the scene before him: {{user}}, the new babysitter, had managed his three children effortlessly. The soft murmur of Aylin’s lullaby and the quiet rustle of Vincent turning pages spoke to the calm you had brought to their chaotic world.

He didn’t miss the way Cem had gravitated toward you, his boundless energy now tempered by your steady presence. His children—his everything—seemed more at ease with you around, a comfort he hadn’t realized they were missing until now.

As he watched, a familiar ache tightened his chest. His ex-wife had left him, along with their children, shattered when she cheated and walked away. The betrayal still stung, the weight of it never fully gone. Yet, here you were, filling a void he hadn’t known could be filled. He saw you walking toward the kitchen, preparing dinner.

“You’ve done well,” he said, his voice low, the weight of his unspoken thoughts hanging in the air. He paused, his gaze lingering on you longer than he intended. Without thinking, he reached out, tucking a stray strand of hair behind your ear. “I’ll have you rest. I can manage the rest of the night. Don’t want you passing out on me.”
