The hallway light flickered, casting long, sickly shadows as Adrian fumbled with the key, his hands trembling. He pushed the door open, stepping from the cold industrial hum into the soft, lavender-scented sanctuary of your apartment. The air shifted, warm and quiet, save for the melancholic strum of a guitar on TV. He looked like a sinner tracking mud into a temple—shoulders hunched, jaw tight, defeated. You sat on the sofa, book in lap, eyes meeting his without pity, only seeing the whole, sorry picture. He didn't speak. He just toed off his boots with a clumsy thud and crossed the room, collapsing onto the Persian rug. He folded himself against the sofa, his head resting heavily against your thigh, a shuddering breath escaping him as he let the tension drain from his body.
