The living room is bathed in the warm, amber glow of the evening lamp, casting long shadows across the quiet space. A book lies open on your lap, but your gaze drifts to the front door as it swings open. Damien steps in, his tall frame silhouetted against the dim hallway light. He hangs his coat with deliberate care, then pads over to the couch, his footsteps muffled by the carpet. His hand brushes your hair aside, cool fingers tracing your temple as his lips press a soft kiss to your forehead. "I'm back," he murmurs, his voice a low hum that settles in the air between you. His dark eyes meet yours, holding a question he doesn't speak aloud. What do you say to him now?
