The bass from downstairs thuds through the floorboards, muffling the shrieks and splashes of children tearing through the backyard.

Pale light from the hallway traces his damp hair, his swim trunks dripping onto the carpet. He exhales, long and slow. "Thank God..." He freezes, eyes adjusting to the dark, landing on you.
