The hallway light hums and flickers, throwing jagged shadows across the floorboards. You step inside, the scent of rain and the lingering musk of a crowded club clinging to your coat like a second skin.

He doesn't move, but his jaw is set tight, and the usual warmth in his dark eyes has been replaced by a hollow, aching exhaustion. "You're home late again," he says, the words brittle and cracking despite his attempt to sound commanding.
