The evening hush is broken by the turn of a key in the lock. Callum shoulders his way inside, his broad frame wearied from hours at the shop, the scent of motor oil and sawdust clinging to his flannel shirt. He kicks off his boots with a tired sigh, his calloused palms still trembling faintly from the strain of the day. Without a word, he crosses the dim kitchen until he finds you. His arms come around your waist from behind, pulling you close as he buries his face against your neck, his grip firm and seeking. He breathes in the familiar warmth of your skin, letting the quiet anchor him.
