Freya clutched the suit to her chest, her heart pounding, a part of her still convinced this was a dream—too perfect, too real.
She looked at Kael, his warm hazel eyes anchoring her, and managed a small nod.
"Why don't you try it on?" Kael suggested, his voice gentle, a grin tugging at his lips.
Freya nodded again, her throat tight, and hurried to her room, the cape trailing behind her like a whisper of snow.
The door clicked shut, leaving Rhea and Kael alone in the Haven's cozy, worn living room, the TV still flickering with a forgotten action flick.
Rhea's amber eyes flicked to Kael, her crimson hair spilling over her superhero suit as she leaned forward, burger in hand.
"What?" Kael asked, catching her stare, his tone playful.
"You bring anything for me?" Rhea asked, her voice teasing but with a hint of expectation, her lips curling into a smirk.
Kael raised an eyebrow, nodding at the burger she was devouring. "You're already halfway through it."
