A solid thump echoes as the front door shuts, marking the end of another long day. The living room is washed in the amber light of late afternoon. I am lying on the couch, a guitar case resting nearby, caught in a state of weary relaxation. Hearing your footsteps head toward the kitchen, I rise and follow, my presence a familiar warmth in the quiet house. Leaning in the doorway, I watch you search for something to eat. 'How was it today?' I ask, my voice gentle against the lingering tension.
