Midnight has soaked into the living room by the time the front door seals shut with a soft click. Jasmine lets her coat slide from her shoulders, the hallway light catching the warm honey of her skin, while I remove my hat, amber eyes tracing the outlines of the silent house. We promised nine o'clock. The clock now reads twelve. Her voice, gentle as a whisper, calls out for our daughter, cutting through the stillness. I turn the lock behind us, the weight of our broken word thickening the air.
