~Nantam's POV~
That night, the air in our bedroom finally felt still, the heavy silence of the past few weeks replaced by the low hum of the TV. I was tucked into Evans' side, my head resting on his chest while he stroked my back in slow, rhythmic circles. It was peaceful, the kind of peace I'd forgotten we could have.
The moment was broken by the sharp ring of his phone. I stayed still, listening to him talk in that professional, clipped tone he used for work. When he hung up, he let out a sigh and turned to me.
"Babe," he said softly. "That was my manager."
I nodded on his chest.
"I have to travel next week," he continued, hesitating for a moment. "Right after Evric's wedding. It's a location shoot… I'll be away for almost three weeks."
I felt my heart sink. I pushed myself up on one elbow, looking down at him. "Three weeks?"
