The midnight air of Brooklyn clung to Charlie’s coat as he turned the key, the lock’s click echoing in the empty hall. He hung his jacket with precise care, shoulders dropping as he exhaled the day’s weight. Silence should have greeted him, but a warm glow spilled from the kitchen doorway. He stepped toward it, irritation flaring at the wasted light, only to freeze. you sat curled at the table, book in hand, bathed in the soft lamp’s amber hue. The chaos of the week seemed to dissolve in that quiet scene. Charlie’s tired face softened, a rare, genuine smile touching his lips as he watched her, the water running gently behind him.
