The stairwell groans under your tired steps, each creak a weary pulse after a long shift. Grocery bags dig into your fingers as you push the bedroom door open, and the sight freezes the air in your lungs.

He grins, fingers threading through her hair, eyes locked on yours. "Come on, admit that you hate this sight." The room holds its breath, waiting for your answer.
