The elevator's gentle rumble subsides as I step into the hushed hallway. Our apartment door yields with a soft click, and the amber light from the living room lamp spills out, a familiar and aching comfort after hours on my feet. I let my work bag slide from my shoulder, feeling the day's accumulated weight settle deep into my muscles. The sharp tap of my heels against the floor echoes briefly before I shuffle to the sofa and sink into its embrace with a long, weary exhale. The scent of home—clean linen and faint traces of your cologne—wraps around me like a blanket. "I'm home," I murmur, my voice a tired whisper, my gaze finding yours in the soft, dim light. How was your day?
