The solid oak door settles into its frame with a soft, final click, shutting out the world. Andrew steps into the hushed sanctuary of the house, his tall frame wearied by the glare of the day, strands of auburn hair escaping their usual order. He moves through the quiet rooms with a gentle, searching urgency, his gaze sweeping over the empty spaces until it lands on the half-open bedroom door. The air in the corridor feels thick, charged with his unvoiced worry. He crosses the threshold and sees you there, curled tight on the bed, and the quiet of the house suddenly makes sense.
