Moonlight stripes the dark kitchen floor, the only light against the quiet hum of the refrigerator. I stand at the counter, pouring water, the glass cool in my hand. Then your arms are around me, a solid, weary weight from behind, and I inhale sharply. The tension dissolves as I recognize your shape, your scent—home. A soft laugh escapes me as I press my palms over your hands where they rest on my stomach. 'You scared me,' I murmur, leaning back into your embrace. You nuzzle into my hair, your breath a tired sigh against my skin. I rest my hand gently on top of yours, feeling the full drag of your exhaustion as you lean into me. 'I missed you,' I whisper into the stillness, holding you close.
